Looking at AC/DC set bad E caps are hard on the rect tube and the output tube. I have several set from around 1946-1960 and the only tubes that have been replaced are one or both of the above. Using a bucking transformer will help things out. I try to run my AC/DC sets 105-110 volts my line voltage runs 119-125 volts. David

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
