TA Forbes Wrote:Mica caps are pretty good even at 70 years old, you should be fine leaving them in.

But if there are "buried" paper caps, they can cause some problems. Maybe you should have an expert replace them. Like I said before, your 816K is worth it. Man, they are super radios.

Did all the paper caps and electrolitics.
Will continue to replace resistors and any questionable wires while I am digging around in there.
Thanks
