4 Hours?  Kon, you need some equipment! (Like a cap sub box and a 
digital 'scope).
 
 
 
Hi Drew.
It took me a few  hours to work out the capacitor mfd values  that
peaked the  filters because  I had  to start  with an 0.086 mfd
capacitor and then  add  several 0.001 mfd caps or 0.0022 mfd caps in
parallel   to the filter transformer coils via  two alligator clips
until the loudest  output levels were produced  through each filter of
the TG notes  49 to 91.  I also had to unsolder one end of the leads of
each of the wax capacitors in order to be able to work out the mfd
values of the  capacitors that peaked the filters and I also  measured
the  mfd  values  of all the aged wax caps and I then resoldered  the
leads of the wax caps back in place on to the bobbin solder lugs.  All
of this took me around four hours and I was working at a leisurely pace
rather than a rushed pace. 
 
Unfortunately none of the local electronics supplies shops  sells
capacitor decade boxes. Having the capacitor decade box  would simplify
this  work and allow  me to do this  a lot quicker.
I have a Velleman HPS-10 hand held digital oscilloscope  and I use this
to measure the TG output levels of the complex waveform  pedal bass TG
notes 1 to 12.  However  this digital oscilloscope  is slow to give a
reading and it produces three or four  fluctuating readings instead  of
an instant and accurate single reading so therefore  I prefer to use my
analog millivolts peak to peak  meter  to measure the sine wave TG notes
1 to 91  because this produces instant  and stable readings. If I could
find a way to  be able to accurately measure  the complex waveform
pedal bass TG notes 1 to 12 with the analog mVpp meter , then I would
gladly stop using the digital oscilloscope with it's unstable readings.
All the best.
