MrFixr55,
Thanks again for your most helpful info!  My intention is to get the set working.  I really want to just hear the radio play.  Most likely I will not use the record player as I would like to install a new model to play multiple rpm's.  Idea being I would like to pass this on to my kids/grandkids/great grandkids (yes I have 2 of the latter - I'm old!).  I will make sure the set continues to be used and not just left in the basement to rot!
So I'm not sure what my easiest (but most long lasting) solution is.  I seriously doubt if anyone is going to be looking "under the hood" to see whether I have stuffed the caps or just put them under the chassis. 
I didn't see the link you indicated, "Refer to the attached schematic link from our library".  Thanks for directing me to the library though as it has a lot of good info!

Oh I forgot, one more question.  I need to change the ac coming in to the 3 prong type of course.  Can you direct me to a drawing showing the correct way to do this?  Thank you!
