I just brought home a 37-660 and although I've worked many radios I would like some input from anyone who has tackled one of these. It is obvious sections of the radio will need to be removed in order to access caps/resistors that need to be changed.

Any suggestions as to where to begin? Seems like one will almost have to replace most of the caps/resistors before firing the thing up (not one or two and then check operation). Also any hints/problems on removing the dial etc?

I have the schematic from NA and my quick review of things find different values for some caps. Are there different versions?

BTW, this particular radio has never been serviced except for tube replacement. All of the compnents are original. Must not have been played for a long time.
