Hi Marv
Just want to stop by and say welcome to the Phourm.
As to where to start well where ever you want. There's
lots to fix but I would start with the caps. You got one of those set with a sub chassis (most of the 1937 models) which is kinda pita to service.

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.
