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!
