I have the recap finished. The electrolytic cap box went back in with no problems and the removal of those old tacked in caps opens up the underside. I only recapped. The two 500kOhm resisters are about double what they should be but I left them in until my order comes with a 2 watt 500k to replace the big one. All the others are close enough.
I put the tubes back in, including the 2A5 that tested "Bad" (but only just) and powered it back up. It does indeed still play. I only have a 10 foot antenna wire on it but it still picked up one local AM station. The station from my SSTRAN at 1130 comes in very clear as you would expect. I will swap out the two bad resistors and put a new 2A5 in when they arrive. Still have some chassis clean up to do as well but its always nice when they play first time!

Soon it will be on to the cabinet work.
