Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've been able to bring the 41-250 back to life!  I finished re-capping it last night along with a few other things and much to my surprise it played. It works very well on the AM and shortwave bands.  The push-button tuning doesn't seem to be working --  my guess is that all the coils associated with those need to be re-tuned and I don't have the equipment to do that.  But that is something I can live with as I didn't really intend on using those.  Thanks again for everyone's advice, especially to Terry who walked me through the testing of the power transformer, something I had never done before but now I understand how to do it! 

Best wishes!

Jason
