Nathan's 38-116XX Restoration
#2

Here's the before picture for under the chassis:

The paper caps are almost all original. Several of the electrolytics have been replaced.

Phono Jack

Also note the addition of an after-market phono input jack (shielded wires). In order to make that work the magnetic tuning switch has been replaced with a three-position job. So Off-On-Phono. It's pretty well done actually - and finding an original switch is probably not going to happen - so leaving it in place might be the best option.

Dial Lamps

The first thing I did was to fix the dial lamps. I like to do those first so that they're not shorted - and because it's reassuring to see them glowing as I bring up a set for the first time on the variac.

Electrolytics

Next I tackled restuffing the electrolytics. I used Solen film caps to replace the main filter caps parts 120 and 121 (both 8uF) as well as part 123 (8uF / 10uF). Part 70 (8uF / 8uF/ 6uF) was too small so I used Nichicon electrolytics.
