Have a meter, will test the resistance of the coils, didn't think of coils.
Cap's don't have any outward bad indications, such as swelling, leaking, or cracks or even discoloration. All have both ends with the wires still attached as well. Took a chance powering up with the cap's. Will have to test them too.

Have been e-mailing Mark, he does not stock the part number to replace my dial. Will have to drill the rivets and scan into computer for re-construction then make new decal myself.

Have looked at Retro-Tronics previous to posting. Have only seen back boards. Will e-mail them and see if they have a speaker board or even be able to just sell some hard stock.

And that stuck tube, I don't want to use too much force on that to trash the socket as you have mentioned. Will have to work it some more and hope it starts to move.

Thanks,
Gary
