The more I deal with the set, the more I think it was repaired, and the quality is, well, not the factory one.
If i were to unsolder a wire or a part in Philco, it would take a considerable effort; here the wires come out quite effortlessly, and while it makes my life somewhat easier, it is not good.
I realized there is a block cap, 2, 6 and 8 uF, and two are OK, but the 8uF is shot. Anyway, while I don't always change paper caps, the electrolytics I do replace, and so I ordered all of them plus all the resistors in Mouser, including all the Candohm section replacements.
Can't find a terminal strip to replace the Candohm. Will have to take a trip to the Radio Shack. They have some.
Mark Oppat wrote he has drive belt by the foot for Zeniths, cheap, so I will order some when it comes to that point in the exercise.
