So I've been restoring a Fisher 100-R AM/FM tuner from 1960. Only five paper film "dog turd" caps (they look like brown Orange Drops but they will require replacement), three electrolytics in one large can, and a selenium rectifier that must be replaced with silicon. Easy to restore. The only drawback of the 100-R is the 6G-E12 dual eye tube used as an FM and AM tuning indicator. It has become "unobtainium". Of course the 6G-E12 in my 100-R is weak Icon_sad
