I’m working on this SX-62. It appears as I read this that it has a 100 mf electrolytic and a .25 cap in parallel connecting to the pot and a common ground for the tone control.
For a 1948 radio this is in decent repairable shape. I’ve had to splice a wire or two that was mouse chewed with new 23 AWG solid wire covered with heat shrink, checking all the resistors, replacing the electrolytics, cleaning, new power cord with a fuse.
And removing the dead mouse that came with it.
I debated totally pulling apart the wiring harness to put in new wires but decided against that for now.
This came with Sprague caps so I’m leaving them until I see if there’s an issue rather than shotgun replace them.
