I have the radio all recapped and it sounds very good, no hum, and loud and clear.
 I am just waiting for some safety caps.  the cabinet won't get done until next spring.

I don't think it is Canadian,and I am not sure how to find out .
       The model is 38-15. [121-124]
  I got the schematics from my Riders book.
 
              I just ordered a bunch of caps from Just radios ,and that was before I knew I needed safety caps.
 To make a special order would be too costly.
      I would gladly pay one of you guys to send me two .01 y caps in the mail. I have pay pal.
    Thanks
