Yes, it has been recapped and out of spec resistors have been changed. The radio works OK, has a slight hum in FM but FM works, gets AM and SW. It could be louder, but OK.
The phono arm was stuck and I freed it up, greased and oiled everything and have a new needle in it. The controls are not right but it spins the platter so I can test it.
I finally got the phono to play through the radio faintly, and it seems the speed is OK. I guess it could be straining to play at speed, which would cause the power consumption to go up I would think. I will check that.
I hope that answers your questions.
