Starting on a new project, model 81 that has numerous problems so this will take some time. The on/off vol switch was replaced with a high resistance vol control and the cap block item 15 was removed. I put a notice in the wanted section for these parts and sent a email to oldradioparts for help. Meanwhile the output transformer was replaced years ago and will probably work but I would like a newer version, maybe a P-T125CSE if that would handle the load.  On a good note, the cabinet is in good shape. I am going thru the coils and starting to replace the caps. I am sure I will have some questions for yall as I get into this.
Thanks,
George
