48-1262 capacitors and coils
#4

Hi Friends.  I  have finally gotten around to asking where to start in the process of restoring my old 48-1262.  I powered it up when I first started and found that some, but not all of the tubes lit up, so didn't leave it on long and started dissecting.  Turning it over to reveal all of the caps, resistors, and wiring, I immediately noticed the problem cap, but I know I need to replaced them all.  The one obvious bad one is a Philco 30-4518 that has burned open.  It's .05 mF.  So now that I know I have some rewiring to do, I was wondering if anyone has a general "shopping" list of all the caps, resistors, tubes, and other components that I will need to start the rebuild.  I figure I'll get the radio itself working and then work on the finish of the cabinet.
Also, as you may know, mine has the built in record player.  After reading a lot of posts about it, it being a 78rpm player, and the non-availability of the needle cartridge, I decided to improve upon it.  I took an old Kenwood turntable that I purchased in the mid 80s and "fitted" it for the platform that goes into the Philco.  It encompassed a lot of detail work, rigging, and removal of most of the original hardware, so I have lost the vintage look, but have a working turntable for my unit.
I did notice that the light bulb in my radio is not working.  It looks like a standard 8W night light bulb.  Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.
