This set was original when I got it. I changed the capacitors and checked the resistors for -20%. It played well but made a popping noise about every 10 seconds. Then nothing. I took it apart again and found the oscillator coil to be rotted, in order as stated above. That's when I got a new oscillator and the real fun started. I will try what you have written above asap. Thanks for the response!!
