The radio is working very well now. Caps have been replaced as instructed.

My hobby is woodworking and after refinishing radios for other people I got into radio restoration myself.

I seem to have my biggest problems with multiple electrolytic canister capacitors. Where to connect them, ground them, whether work was done in previous years etc. I am reading up on schematics but some of the articles assume you have a background in electronics but thanks to this forum and your patience with my questions I am slowly learning this hobby.

Greatly appreciated! Best of the season to all.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
