Was working, now trying to burn up!
#11

I went on the local library's website and found two books and placed them on hold for pickup:

How to repair old-time radios / Clayton L. Hallmark (1979)
Old time radios! : restoration and repair / Joseph J. Carr (1991)

Those should be most helpful, if only for understanding how these old beasts work.
