I uploaded some photos of my radio for the gallery.  I am still making a shopping list of all I am going to replace.  There are a LOT of paper caps in that amp!  I think I am going to need to replace all but 4 capacitors in the amp, and about 1/3 of the capacitors in the tuner.  I just recapped one of my old guitar amps last night and it made a world of difference!!!  I used to hear local broadcast FM stations and tons of hum when the amp was on, now it is almost dead quiet!  I am really looking forward to getting my Philco done.  Is there anything I need to replace or service in the turntable, i believe it is a model M-41?  Thanks.
