   On my other reply I forgot to state what many of us believe.   
      
   Do not plug in the juke box until the amplifier and selection receiver   
   are rebuilt!!!!!   You run a high risk of burning up a transformer or   
   two.  This is the golden rule!   
      
   I don't buy rebuild kits so I can't rate them except if they don't   
   replace every cap, it's not a complete cap kit.  Re: Resistors, I   
   normally check/replace them as I'm replacing the caps.  The connector   
   covers?  Try John Durfee  or see if someone here contacts you.   
      
   By the way, is the mech under the cover unusually clean?  On older boxes   
   you could get away with allowing the trip coil to get wet because it was   
   a much lower voltage (still not a good idea but shit happens),  with   
   your machine the voltage is much higher and if the trip coil got wet, it   
   is probably shot by now.  But you still need the rebuild first.
