Bob,
Does the bandswitch work? Both of mine were frozen. The 66mb was broken in the back and it had to completely come out and be epoxied back together. I am sure you know but heat on the shaft and something like wd-40 will unfreeze that. Tone control might be an easy fix. When you remove it, I believe the caps are in a small box that the shaft goes to. Might be able to replace just the shaft if my memory is working today. Great all your coils are in good shape. It is a great sounding radio when complete. I got involved with the forum restoring the 66mb. Hardest final part was the grill cloth- that was the closest I could come to the small piece still in the cabinet.
