Repair summary on this - new caps throughout including the bakelight block with Y safety caps, resistors checked and replaced, extensive new wiring including for lights, fuse added, new knobs/knob felts and faceplate, new bulbs, case cleaned and polished, new grille cloth, replaced power cord, switches cleaned with de-oxit, added station tabs circa 1941 Indiana - being a Hoosier-American I had to do that. WSM had to be there for the Opry.
Office Max printed out a whole set of tabs for $3 - don’t buy the $15 set you see online.
Radio checks out fine on all bands although extensive local interference at top band is a problem. I think it pulls about .4 amp at 120 v.
This is just planned to be my daily driver for AM radio while I work. This is as good and safe as I can make it. I honestly can’t think of anything else I could do with this except a full alignment - maybe this winter after I fix my signal generator.
