Mike;
That RCA brings back memories of a few G.E sets I have worked on. I'm not sure where the filter caps are paper or electrolytic (dry) in that chassis, but they are inside that big can on the left front corner, along with the bypass caps. Most of the carbon resistors will be way off, I think they are on the top side of that terminal board on the opposite side of the tuning condenser. Taking the oscillator/rf coil out from the other side makes it much easier to work on, but make a diagram of what wires go to what terminal, which you will do anyhow as the methodical fellow that you are. That smaller can near the rear apron has the audio interstage transformer inside, the coil near the front is the antenna coil. These sets are good performers once they are working right, very selective, though the broadcast band tops out around 1600 KC, much like a TRF from that era.
Regards
Arran
