Finished the recap. Here is an overall shot of the chassis underside with all the paper and electrolytic condensers replaced:

There is a condenser , a .05 400v, that hides under the pot shown in the upper left corner of the over all picture. Here is a close up of it replaced with a .047 600v. :

There is one other tricky condenser to replace. It was a .01 400v hiding down under other components as part of the CWO circuit. :

These were the only really tricky condensers to replace, the ones that required ingenuity and the hands of a surgeon, but they were not as bad as some I have dealt with, like the ones inside the tuning section of an old 37 Philco. Now that all the condensers are done, I will go on to check some of the carbon resistors and see how they look. If they are within tolerance I will go on to test the radio. Stay tuned......
