I took the chassis out and everything is original,even the tubes.
All of them were very good.
After bringing it up on the variac it plays good with out any hum.
I will replace all the caps, but leave the old electrolytics in place [disconnected].

Is there a replacement for the thin metal gold dial that has the station numbers on it?
This one is very thin, and fragile.Here is a photo
