Have now replaced all the paper caps and most of the resistors 3 to go. The resistors were from 50% to 300% high. Need to do the Ecaps next looking in my junk for a old can to restuff the replacement is just placed on top with only the wires holding it in place. found 3 wires on the bottom that looked different and realized someone had put heat shrink tubing on them. The wire from the grid cap of the 12A8GT to the tuner is also rubber and will be replaced. The rest of the wiring looks to be non rubber lucky me! The orginal paper caps were all made in New Bedford Mass. The rubber mounts for the tuner are a mess time to get out the oring kits super glue and sheet buna n rubber. I am amazed that I was able to pick up one station on the set. David
