Congratulations. I still advise you to go through the radio and replace the electrolytics with NEW ones, and all the paper condensers with new 630 volt yellow poly types. You don't want one of these old parts to fail and cook your power transformer. While you're at it check all the resistors and replace any which have slipped out of tolerance, or are near doing so. Modern resistors of 1 watt power rating are actually SMALLER than the 1/4 watt ones of years past. I don't use anything smaller than 1 watt these days, and often go for 3 watt, which are about the size of the old 1/2 watt. In the end these precautions will yield a radio which will be reliable for the rest of your life, instead of one which will need continual repairs one after another, and perhaps with a fatal failure which takes out an irreplaceable part. I have something of a weakness for the old RCA sets. If you check my threads you will see that I have refurbished a C9-4, a 56X5, a 5Q55, a T8-18, and two 18T's.
