After taking the set apart and injecting some tuner cleaner into the volume control the radio seems to be playing much better. It has been operating at about half volume for about an hour now with no deteriation of sound. I think I will give it another hour or so before installing it back into the cabinet. The tube socket pins seem to be ok and I had replaced all the paper capacitors except one as it was not available from my supplier at this time. I was also wondering if it is ok to use the "Orange dip" style capacitor in place of the original "tubular axial" style. Thanks a ton for your great advice.. I have really enjoyed working on this old radio. Gary
