Agree with all, no decent way to check old caps, and much less how to predict how many more hours of service they will have left. Same with carbon resistors, who knows what they will do under voltage and heat after all these years, much less how out of tolerence they are already. Can't imagine you could buy a modest but decent dinner for two for what parts cost to renew an average radio. Do it right and they will be playing after we are gone.
