Ron, When I bought this set the two eights and the ten had been replaced along with the power transformer. The four and the three ones and the two appear to be original. The first thing I did was to restuff all the bakelites and and replace all other paper caps. The radio plays and sounds ok but the transformer voltages don't seem correct. About 100 volts low across the plates of the rectifier, filiment voltage on the rectifier is ok but the filiment voltage to the remaining tubes is 5.9vlts. Is that to low ? As I mentioned before I would like to replace the non original transformer with an original, and the only one I could find is a 25 cycle unit. I will take everyone's advice and replace the remainder of the electrlytics and then tackle the transformer issue. Its nice to know that you have been into one of these before. Your advice as well as all others is greatly apprieciated. Gary
