Replaced all electrolytic & paper caps along with 6 resistors. Did not replace the bakelite caps. I've noticed that it takes about 15 minutes for the radio to warm up and stop frequency drift. Is this normal for a 1935 radio or could it be attributed to another item, such as bakelite caps? Bob. Icon_confused
