Have just finished re-capping. Wow. Only 1/3 of the caps are the same values. Whatever I bought for the radio remains largely unspent, but the stash I had from before proved to have all I need.

I rewound the antenna coil; does not look snappy but hopefully will work.

Now I have to order that last batch from Play Things of the Past, including that ballast tube an 78, and that will be it. I will power it up.
Let's hope it works. It is an uninspiring radio, I am doing it as a favor, not charging for work, so I hope it would just work so I could be done with it.
