Found a 38-116 code 125 at a building Salvage store for $85 bucks. Cabinet looks to have been restored, including saving all but 1 of the original decals.  Chassis looks to be in good condition, no rust, just a lot of dust. Grille cloth looks new as well.  Checked the tubes, one 6L6 was cracked, half the 5Z4 has no emissions.  A couple others have extremely low emission. Ordered 8 tubes to replace them
Other than the electrolytic and paper caps, are there any specific issues with these radios?
Thanks
