My point is, given that this radio looks to be a late 30's style, that the caps that are in there are way too large for the circuit. I'm thinking that the originals were closer to 8 and 16 uf, and that 120uf total capacitance is going to be much, much too much. Of course, all I have to go by are the pics, and from what I can tell with those is that the radio is similar to one of the Plant A units, with 25Z5, 6D6, etc..
