All of the Bakelite blocks have been restuffed with the correct caps and any block that had resistors attached have also Been replaced. We tested the resistors and even if they were within tolerance we replaced them with the correct value. All of the electolytics have been replaced. The radio was tested after each block was stuffed too of course check for problems, none so far and the radio performance has improved . That takes care of the power unit and most of the I.F. Unit. Still have to replace the two .1 caps and the one .8 cap in the I.F. Unit then it's on to the infamous R.F.& Audio section but hey we're almost two thirds of the way.
