Hello everyone, I'm new on here and already have some questions. I recently received a model 40-199 and I need to recap. I have recapped a Olympic phonograph in the past and it went well. My questions are 1 Where can I find a photo fact for this model? I have found a schematic but I would like a hard copy that lists the values of the caps. 2 When I removed the chassis I noticed wax directly under the transformer,it looks like it is coming out of the center where the wires go in the bottom. Does this mean I need a new one? And if so where do I find one?3 Are these good radios? This was my uncles parents and has been in the family since new so I really want to restore it so he can see it working again. Thanks for the help.
