So, Thursday the electrolytic caps came, and today I restuffed the last one, glued it together and soldered it in.
Had to replace a few wires that really started to crumble on me, plus rebuilt the battery cable.
Here it is again:
I plugged it then directly into isolation transformer, without the variac, and turned it on.
Nice radio noise started coming out after about 4 seconds (fast if you ask me, often takes 10+) snd I quickly tuned in my local station which happened to be exactly where it should be.
The volume pot is noisy, I think I'll try first to find a way to get some Deoxit inside without having to open it up.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
