Victory! I've finished the recapping project, added a fuse and a polarized AC cord, and finally powered up the radio. After some tense moments slowly cranking up the variac I now have a fully operational radio! 70 years to the date, no less, from the day it passed final inspection at the Philco factory!



I'm happily listening to holiday music playing on a local German radio station, complete with ads in German. What a great morning! Thanks again for all the help.
