Its really dirty and the transformer is rusty.
Kirk mentioned smoke.
I did a superficial cleanbgc and took out the tubes.
The rectifier's bad.
Then before I went to recap I checked the transformer. I only checked the rectifier filament voltage, seems good.
Did the recap. One cap in the RF chassis took a bit of work, the backelite cap was easy - put Y2 caps n it. Kirk did the electrolytics.
The resistors seem ok, even the wirewound, except the divider 22, 23 and 57 - all seem to be twice the value.
Need the speaker. The speaker wires are really frayed and twisted together. I wonder if this made it smoke.
So far this is it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
