Latest update got the radio up and running turns out one of the Black Bakelite Condensers (#28 2-.015) was leaking pretty bad (the others had been bypassed) and I guess was passing thru a large AC component (loud humming) as one leg of 115 was tied in. That's were I got my handy chart from this site matched up the #'s and read how to remove the old wax and re stuffed with new caps.

I still have a lot of cosmetic work on the underside can't stand the haphazard way they did it. and the resistance on the Vol is twice the 20k ( reads 40k) it shows on the print but it seems to play fine. Thanks again to this site
