Thank you!
Yea seems this one is a weird one,a flea market find @$40.my son fell in love with it when i sent pic to him. It wound up being a " unkown" purchase as far as any history of where it came from an working condition ! I haven't worked on " tube" anything in 50+ years. Then luckily found this forum. 2 immediate responses from members restored my confidence in trying to get this oldie functioning again.radioroslyn an i were on the phone 2 nites ago from 930pm to almost 530am talking shop! Im still in question about a few things. Replacing caps im shure but with which " new" types? I have found diagrams an parts lists,tested resistors already, going to need a few ,my son wants me to keep ot " original" as possible. Now the fun parts, finding parts,and finding folks that can help me relearn the early tube repairs. So any guidance is absolutely greatly appreciated. It seems its been thru several repairs from things ive found. But 90 yrs old its expected. I have been taking pictures as i go pulling bad parts off.,power cord,2 "addon " caps. Pulled the dual 10mfd can . And doing some topside chasis cleaning. Hopefully i can get enough guidance to get it going. Im reading a 688 page book on tube theory an application Relearning early tube information. Book was wrote in 1933.
Thank you for responding,every little bit helps

Finally after 50 plus years I'm back into the hobby again. It's like trying to relearn a second language some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't! Could be fun now considering my son is now into old radios and tube technology!
