Thanks to all who helped me with this. The 41-290 works! In fact, it is quite a remarkable player with a whole lot of audio power that the speaker can't take. Great sensitivity and selectivity. I am a amazed how well these old radios play. Makes me think I should go back and recap everything in my 41-280. I sent it to a guy to just get it working and he did. He didn't repcap the whole thing though and kept the ones that were ok just to get it to play. If I go back into it and replace all the old cpaps and elec caps, do you think it will play better?

Again, thanks for everyone's assistance.
