On to the radio, just a simple install of the 3 electrolytics into the space where the old can was.
I used the cardboard sleeve that covered the can to also cover the new electrolytics without trying to stuff them back into the old can. Paper caps were replaced.
The space was pretty tight to get down to the tube pin lugs but it worked out. Three of the 4 tubes were bad so those are now replaced as well. After temporarily rewiring in the clock, it all checked out on the bench and was working. A number of stations came in pretty well with a four foot wire antenna.
Now I just need to remount the clock and radio into the cabinet, check the alignment and this one should be done. I'll post a photo of the finished radio when it back together.
