Hello. So I am back at the 610 this week. I was out of town last week so I didn't have much to report. The one thing that I have managed to figure out is that my radio is a version that is wired like the newer drawing that is available but does not include the phonograph. Also my version does not include one of the bakalite block capacitor but has two of these(see photo) instead.There are other minor changes that were confusing me that I was able to figure out. One thing I learned pretty fast from reading other posts on this sight was to get the tube pin out and mark it on large blown up drawing. Once I did this I was able to trace all the wiring and get a better understanding of what I got. I also got all my new capacitors and resistors to get started on replacing them. Is it possible to clean the tuning capacitor without removing it from the chassis? I think that might be my worse job ahead of me

as I have already cleaned out the bakalite blocks.. Thanks for the interest in my progress. Jim B.
