Ok I ordered some .015 caps but didnt check that 3793 was the power line caps. Saw on just radios that there are x1y2 caps, ect and I have no idea what x1y2 or just y2 is other than safety caps. Main issue with this set is it just sounds distorted and not sure why yet. Seems like it drifts and gets distorted. Grid cap somewhere?
On the 6a8 tube I see a resistor that has a measured 100 ohm across pins 7 and 8. Cant tell what color its supposed to be since its way down in the center section. Also dont know if I must remove the center section to expose more parts that could be bad. I only see two caps in there, are there more resistors and caps under this center section tuning platform?
Total things I have done so far is replace the power supply B+ with caps rated at 450 volts(just saw that the working voltage might need to be higher?). Cleaned all the tube sockets as the tubes were a bear to remove. Replaced the 30-4446 as it seemed to be open .25uf
