After a couple of weeks of recapping, re-resistoring, I have my 48-482 singing sweetly, on both AM and FM. I did an alignment on the AM band, but I'm reluctant to delve into the FM, as it looks impossibly difficult. I'm getting my local NPR station on it, which is good enough for me.

Much thanks to all those who have posted their 48-482 experience on this forum and others, especially Terry Judkins and all the other brave souls who have ventured into the "hive of bees" that is the capacitor/resistor knot of this radio.

I'm now beginning on the cabinet. Here's a snapshot of the thing before I started on it:
