@morzh - That's correct. Electrical Engineer. But while I find this radio's circuit fascinating, I have no idea how the vacuum tubes work! A little before my time.
Also, you know, I'm itching to plug it in to see what will happen! I understand the need to replace the caps though. Right now, I'm just trying to go over the hole thing and clean it up. It's filthy with dust and small debris. It would be really nice if someone had a list of caps that are recommended to replace. I'd start by getting those. Otherwise, I just need to go over the schematic and see what's there.
@RobB - Absolutely. I'm taking plenty of pictures! Yeah, I notice the dial is missing some of it's printing. I've already figured out how to remove it so I can clean. Are replacement dials available? I haven't tried looking yet.
@klondike98 - Thank you! I have already starting looking at the resources there. Lots of good information.
