Estate sale find: Philco 48-1256
#4

It's manageable.  There are four electrolytics and about nine paper caps.  My biggest complaint is that the connectors on the underside of the tube sockets have no holes so everything has to be wrapped around and sometimes there are four or five things connected to one pin.  There's a good schematic available on nostalgia air.  They also have the service info for the D-10 changer.  I've always liked these units!  After doing a half dozen or so radios for friends and family, I'm doing this one for myself!  Looking forward to playing my holiday 78's this December!  I have the replacement cartridge but will need to send the idler wheel out to get it exchanged for a refurbished one.  The last thing will be getting the platter reflocked, but I can probably hold off on that for now.  Keep us posted on your progress.  Enjoy!
