A few questions are already surfacing as I put together a parts list for this radio. The two big dry electrolytics are 40uF 160v. Do you see any issue with replacing them with 47uF 250v ? Also noticed direct to chassis caps on both pin 3 on the 50L6's (.005 400v). Should those be X caps also? Should I replace any and all caps with X caps that are attached to chassis? Since there is essentially a path to neutral with the .05 cap on the hot leg, does this also provide a ground without an external wire? I don't see any evidence that the GND terminal has ever been used.
Starting a slow cleaning of the set as I wait for my parts order. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
