Hi all and thanks for the great responses! I went with a can left over from another radio, kinda scratched up but it does the job:
Looks a little worse underneath but that's OK. I'm completely out of wire and added a couple of pieces of 14 gauge wire temporarily so I know where the speaker connections will go. Might have to redo it eventually if I can't find an original speaker since I'll need those bigger caps. There's an original on eBay but it isn't cheap!
A couple of other questions. Does anyone know what #4 is on this schematic?
The schematic makes it sound like it's part of the box of 5 caps going to ground but I think that's a mistake. The markings make me think it's a resistor, it has an orange body:
Lastly (for now) I'm working on the tone caps. Am I correct in thinking 48 is always going to ground and the switch adds 47 in parallel? Seems right, just want to be sure...
Mounted a terminal tie strip inside for the caps, done with the bakelite boxes!
Next I'll work on the RF coil when my coil wire comes in the mail. Thanks again!
