Terry, I do have the center tuning cap out and yes,the bottom is in better shape but, I can’t flip them and remount as the there are 3 mounting screws, 2 on top, 1 in the middle on bottom! I want to clean this radio up but not really into doing a museum type restoration. I’ve resurrected this until just to experiment with changing the grid leak detector for a diode detector and compare the difference in distortion!

MrFixr, later today I will dig out that computer power supply, fire it up and see what voltages I can find plus I will put my transistor radio next to it and sniff for objectionable noise or maybe better yet, substitute the power supply for the radio’s battery! If all else fails, I will look to get an ARBE III.
