Hi Rod,
Thanks for the info on finding replacement tubes.  Regarding the safety capacitor, I thought the type X went from line to neutral and type Y went from line to chassis ground.  This safety capacitor is directly across the line.  I was also wondering about moving the safety cap after the on/off switch.  As it is now, with the radio plugged in the capacitor has line voltage across it 100% of the time. I like your idea of moving the cap after the on/off switch.
Thanks again for your help!
Rich
