A Marconi model 86
#16

This Marconi was a bit of a challenge. It was totally missing one electrolytic  capacitor, and the photos show a couple of others taped [with hospital tape]
to the top of the chassis, with bare wires.

I had to rewire in the missing cap, and recap the radio.
   After going through everything and getting it fixed it does play very well.
 I had to take out the glass [four pieces] and clean them..

I had a junker Marconi  with tall cans  and they fit perfectly in the holes in the chassis where the original cans were
 Now comes the cabinet when it gets warmer. 

It still get down the near freezing at nigh,here in Calgary.
  I have a fellow turning me a knob to match the others..
It will be a nice radio after I get it done  [I hope].
