Today I :

- stuffed the old tubular caps
- stuffed the backelite block (two Y-caps), and
- replaced the disk ceramic caps and the sole axial film one with the old caps' shells with axial caps inside.
- Plus Iremoved the 30uF 50V cap that was there between the GND and the Negative. It is not in the schematic, so even if it is good, I do not want it. Plus it seems it did not affect anything in a negative way.
The radio works a bit better. I also realized the strong noise (which I never heard before) is coming from my workbench's light fixture, which has a switcher inside.

I also need to restuff electrolitic caps plus fix the values (the 1st cap is 20uF instead of 12uF).
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
