Thanks Mike    When I bought this radio the seller had 2 of them.  One was in real good shape and the other was missing some veneer and the dial framework had been mangled.  So I bought both.  I was trying to get the one in good shape to work but that's the one with all the static.  So for the H**l of it I replaced the ecaps and installed some safety caps in the one missing the dial-powered it up and the radio came on booming and no static.  So I changed all the caps and cleaned it up and I'll use this one in the cabinet.  

   I'm still confused as to why that other one had so much static.  I did take it away from my bench to another room but it still had static.
