This is a great group. I really appreciate all the input. I am amazed people who have never soldered can do this. I was not even aware of paper capacitors, lol.
 After graduating from Tech school in the eighties , I worked for a short period repairing calculators. I was offered a job in another field with good pay. I haven't done this work since then the eighties.
 I was anxious for this, I purchased a new soldering station etc. think it might be a fun hobby, but I can barely read a schematic now or know a resistor value just by looking at it anymore . I will purchase another gift for my son I was going to give this too. I will think about what to do with this radio in the meantime. Thanks everyone!!!!
