Someone seriously went over this radio. The tin can is rebuilt. I will check the cap values, but I think they are OK. The electrolytics were a bit too large; the Atom cap across the rectifier was 50uF which is too large.
I found a backelite block and added it to put that 0.3uF across the choke (yes, i know, the recent trend is dump it) and removed the large tubular axial cap soldered right acreoss the choke; also weir fact but the electrolytic which looks 1950-s is OK. So is that pretty old tubular across the choke.
The power divider (13/15/10K) has moved a bit so I corrected it.
I think I will rebuild the electrolytics and add one small 10uF one decoupling the GND to the Rect centertap Negative.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
