I always replace the electrolytic and paper capacitors, test and replace resistors as needed, test and replace tubes as needed, and otherwise test and fix any radio before I try to power them up. My first step is usually to cut off the and discard the old power cord. I really like the look of this unit, and the control panel is far easier to see than on units with a flat front (e.g. most Zenith models), so I will fix it sooner, rather than later. I have already ordered the pushbuttons, and ordered and received new grille cloth. The speaker is good, and only two tubes were bad, so I am hopeful that it will be playing soon. I also have a 41-250 and all of what I need to fix it, although all of that rubber wire may take a while to change. I'll look at the chassis and decide which should be first based on what I see. Also, I am just learning to use spray lacquer, and the 40-195 needs to have the top refinished, while the 41-250 only needs waxing or some treatment with Howard's finish restorer.
