Just picked this up yesterday (I like the big dial sets) An Admiral/Continental by RPC. it's been recapped at some point and has some lifting veneer on the left side that I think I can get reglued. Plays well with a small amount of hum. The only cap that I can see that wasn't replaced is the one going to the antenna coils. This is the PITA cap a .1 400v.

How much will that cap affect the set ?

I rearranged the dial lights to get a more even distribution of the lighting. This looks awesome in the dark! A nice sized set measuring 21" wide by 13" high by 10" deep with a 7 1/2" dial.
