I've finally opened this radio up . After dealing with the asbestos in the cabinet, and removing a few added caps with messy soldering, I noticed it seemed to have EIGHT mica caps!

I thought that kinda odd,  ( the Motorola 51X17, with the same tube compliment, only has 2),
. . . . until I started trying to trace them on the schematic. At least 4 have turned out to be resistors.   Icon_crazy

Why on earth did they have to make resistors look like mica caps?!  Just thought I'd vent this frustration.  I already know at least one has to be replaced.  It's supposed to be 33 ohms, ...it's 41 ohms.  Good bye and good riddance!
