Yeah, winters are VERY long here 
And yes, this radio will be a keeper, that's for sure. From what I know it is even rare here. The problem with re-stuffing the caps in this particular one is, that they are not sealed with wax or tar in the ends where the leads goes out. The outside paper is folded in the ends (and then dipped in wax) and this makes it impossible to open them without destroying them. "Super Electric" and "Wicon" made their paper caps that way, until sometime in the early 50's.
