Just bought 37-620 want to get it working
#11

Well, I got most of the old paper capacitors replaced with new ones last week, only burned myself once.  Not too bad.  I will be getting more to replace the "dry electrolytic" capacitors that are in the metal cans on top of the chassis, and one more tube to replace and we should be good to go.  The power cord apparently was replaced fairly recently, as it is a modern vinyl covered cord.  I still have to figure out how to get the short wave antenna attached to the side of the house without contacting anything metal.  I will have to have an insulated wire to go around the window and then some kind of insulated standoffs to hold it under the edge of the roof around the house.  I would like to have about 50 feet of wire, if possible.
