Ordered 154E inductance by Hammond; cheap enough, and when order 2, the shipping no longer becomes 2/3 or the price of the item.
Amazon sells it for someone else. Unfortunately, the shipping is not free on this one, even for Prime members.
Anywho.
Need to restuff the capacitors can.

Have rebuilt the can.
The can had 4 caps in it, 2x16uF, 10uF and 8uF.
I used a 15uF as the first cap, 22uF and 10uF as the two secondary after chokes, and another 10uF as the cathode feedback for the output tube.
The can is this
Took two heatgun to loosen the contents.
This is it rebuilt.
I installed it back, need to slder the rest of the wires, but it will have to wait as I need to clean that mess in there before I put everything back.
I also installed the choke. It is half-size of the original. I ordered 700 Ohm resistor to add up to bring it to 2200 ohm.

Hi Mike, the radio is coming along nicely but wow, you must have some serious moisture in your shop judging by the amount of rust on your chassis jig!
