Was recently gifted a Model 20 Gothic arch. The cabinet has not had an easy life but I'm going to try and salvage it best I can. The chassis looks to be untouched except some of the tubes have labels as to who replaced them and the date they were replaced. Preliminary readings with DVM show the "carbon" (?) resistors have drifted high 25-50% of nominal value. Bakelite caps show no evidence of damage don't seem to be reading open or shorted. Tube filaments show good values, and windings reading correctly. I have downloaded schematics, drawings, user instructions, etc. from various sources. My inclination is to replace the out-of-tolerance resistors and recap. This is the only tube radio I own that is not working so I'd rather not purchase components in packs of 5 or 10. Is it likely I would be able to locate a source that could supply a "kit" of the components that would be needed for this Model 20. Thanks for any help you could offer.
