Oh, and for Jerry - The tone cont has 3 caps in it. The schematic does not say what they are. I used .002mf (3) the tone change is slight, which is the way I like it. I never listen to a radio with the tone turned all the way down. But, I suspect the original values were something like .005mf times 3. Since the tone cont sums up these values that is a total of .015mf.

Also - solder in the short run, med and long in that order so you don't burn the insulation.

Starting on the cabinet now.
