This is my first rebuild/restore--and as expected I have learned a lot so far, for instance that it is a good idea to get components (resistors and caps) from one good source (still working on that one)--I have had to run all over my local area in search of parts, and today I needed a 4.7 Meg resistor, so called supplier only had 2.4 Meg, so two in series will do, also I needed a .004 Mfd cap and had to accept a .0047 Mfd (Iam sure it will do) except that working voltage is lower, again should be ok. So the next set I work on I will scope out original components condition a lot closer-get a good schematic-and a good shop selection of common caps and resistors--but all in all Iam enjoying my radio journey-looking forward to more (got to get this one running first though) George
