Well another interesting thing is that I have a 1952 Zenith "Bugeye" clock radio (AM/FM model) that I had picked up at Goodwill for $5 and some change and it worked perfectly with all of it's original components in it yet including all of it's original tubes, but then about half a year later the filter caps started failing (the radio started humming) and so I took the radio apart and recapped it and it's been fine since, and this westinghouse is basically a clone more or less of this Zenith except that the Zenith doesn't have the rectifier tube like the Westinghouse does, but earlier versions of these Zenith 6 and 7 tube wonders did have a 35W4 rectifier tube in them before they went solid state with the rectification circuits.
