Thanks all for the info. On the power caps I used those on the attached picture. Also going to add an inline .5 to 1 Amp fuse.
On the antenna area, going to risk re-routing the part 4 cap, instead of trying to unhook the subchassis.
I remember about the bulb test. I found a ceramic light bulb socket & incandescent bulb I had bought for that.
Don't nobody rag me
, but I just bought a parts 37-60 on Ebay for $133 (includes shipping). Pig in a poke but if the dial, some tubes & speaker transformer are good might be worth it. I already have a bad volume control on mine that I haven't tried contact cleaner on yet.
The Edcor site looks good. But looks like it's more difficult to ask for a custom T. 25 minimum. Custom Transformers (edcorusa.com)
A lot of the issues people are mentioning with tubes or transformers burning out - didn't they have fuses back then? Even now, why can't fuses be used for critical parts? They have them in very small values to large values.
