Ok - thanks to all the electrolytics have been changed and I brought the radio up to 75 volts on the variac and it plays surprisingly well - just with the three new caps - all the way across the band! The beam of light bulb in this radio is an ancient GE #55 bulb and will not light. I've verified that it's not open so I'll have to check whats up with it. There is a giant 10K resistor in this radio it's reading high and I'd like to replace it. I have a supply of 3 watt 10K resistors but I'm thinking that is not going to be enough given the size of whats in there now. Just curious as to why the parts list does not show the power rating of this resistor?
