I have now recapped everything but the power line bakelite block and the mica caps.  Just got through spraying down the tube sockets again.  Seems these tube sockets just didnt want to let the tube go!  Seems much easier to remove tubes now.  On to balance pot which I read somewhere is a hum reducing rheostat.  I know that procedure is here somewhere.  Amazed the shadow meter works quite well.  Reading up on that razor blade bakelite rebuild, that would be cool, but some of these blocks were so buried in there I had to take them out/desolder them.
I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them.  Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing)  Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride.  It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
