Philco 46-480 Electronic Restoration

I've run the radio for a couple of hours today, and all is well. It's a remarkable sounding radio! I'll go ahead and upload all of my finalized documentation here. Attached are the completed Rev 1 schematic (no further changes since the last I noted), a list of all the new resistor part numbers, and a list of all the new capacitor part numbers. Hopefully these help someone down the road!

I figured that the video demonstration of the assembled radio belonged better in my original article about taking a road trip to buy the radio than it did either in this electrical restoration thread or in my other cabinet restoration thread. Y'all can navigate to that one for a link to the video on YouTube. It's a six-minute video this time, and I show off the cabinet and test it out in real time.
