No I have not touched any of the capacitors in this radio yet, because I'm to get a baseline as far as what kind of operating order this radio is in currently so I know what I will need to do to the set besides replacing the capacitors and what not in this radio, which it appears that this radio is not in very good working order and will need a complete overhaul electrically including a complete realignment unfortunately even after the capacitors are replaced. I also know that I'm gonna need a new power switch as well because the power switch on this radio is bad.
