Well I am starting at the real basics here.  I have done one re-cap myself with some guidance and the other radios I farmed out to have them done properly....so.... I'm not sure which tubes would be the output and which one is the rectifier.

I will consult the schematic for this radio and also do some research into SAFELY checking the resistance of a resistor.

I'm not totally inexperienced, but have a very healthy respect for electricity, so I will go slow here and ask a bunch of questions along the way.
