Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I've been able to bring the 41-250 back to life! I finished re-capping it last night along with a few other things and much to my surprise it played. It works very well on the AM and shortwave bands. The push-button tuning doesn't seem to be working -- my guess is that all the coils associated with those need to be re-tuned and I don't have the equipment to do that. But that is something I can live with as I didn't really intend on using those. Thanks again for everyone's advice, especially to Terry who walked me through the testing of the power transformer, something I had never done before but now I understand how to do it!
Best wishes!
Jason
