Started working on the radio. Someone has replaced the speaker in the past and butchered the power supply. Don't think they ever got it to work correctly.
I don't see where they replaced the field coil with a resistor. I have ordered a small 75mA choke and a new speaker. I think it will fit where the electrolytic cap was mounted on the back side of the cabinet.
Ripping out all the wax paper caps leaves lots of extra room. Pondering on whether to install a fuse in the rear chassis side? Probably will.
Installed a new line cord and have wired the AC line filter and the 6X5G tube. Hope to remove the multi cap and re-stuff it today. I also am replacing the rubber insulated hookup wire as I go.
There is an unusual "thing" on the back of the chassis with a single blue wire going to it. No resistance to chassis. It has two connections but only the one blue wire. No resistance from pin to pin or either pin to chassis. Any idea what this is?
Thanks for the help
