Ron;

I agree with the approach you used. I did the same thing on the 40-201 I restored, unless I just did not have the right color of wire at the time. I have not stuffed capacitors other than electrolytics. I did install new capacitors in the AC input bakelite block after removing all the tar and old caps. Those are fairly easy to do and the end result looks like the original part.

The radio looks good. Glad you have it working now.

Hope you find new work soon at a decent wage rate.

Joe
