I've recapped a 51-530 and replaced several out of tolerance resistors. It plays ok, but there is a popping sound between stations. It mostly disappears when a strong station is tuned in. I cleaned the tube sockets, particularly the two loctals, and that seemed to help somewhat. Question: can a Philco of this vintage have SMD? Other things to look at?
