Yesterday I finished recapping the remaining left and right sides of the main chassis:

Right Side

Part No. 82 on the schematic - a 30-4201 (P) cap was marked with a 1200 volt working voltage:

It's a 0.001uF capacitor so I used two 630V 0.002uF caps to come up with an equivalent that should meet that rating.

As with many of the paper caps on this radio the paper label is peeling off. I've been regluing those with rubber cement after restuffing.

When I remove the old cap I try to retain the wax on one end - then use low temperature brown hot glue to fill the other end.
