I have just acquired another Leslie, this time a 147. This will be the third one I have restored but the first one with the amp in poor cosmetic condition. Previous ones were mid sixties models with the label across the front but this one appears to be the later gold type chassis with printed lettering.
Has as anyone been able to clean up a chassis in this condition without losing the lettering or making it look worse?!
This Leslie appears to have been stored in a damp environment and I will be making up a new bottom panel for it (thankfully the mouldings are fine). It has not been used for many years.
I won’t be attempting to fire it up until the amp is recapped but wanted to ask whether it is worth changing the diodes while I have it apart and whether there are any resistors that should be changed in addition to the capacitors?
Thanks as always
Dave
