Thanks for the tips guys. I guess I'd best get myself a 6 volt power source and start recapping. which kind of solvent should I use? is denatured alcohol fine? or maybe CRC contact cleaner? Not to be defensive.. but as a rule, I always start with the component values stated on a schematic or an updated schematic and go from there when needed. I've seen the problems with not sticking to values in critical areas demonstrated @ our little radio clubs workshops and training sessions.
