Ron,

All the paper capacitors have been replaced. Same with the electrolytics. I will double check the photos that I have.

Mortz - How would I check a tube for gas ?

I came up with a compromise. I have a working Philco 42-PT94 which I use every day at work to listen to the radio. I decided to swap chassis of the pt94 with the pt95 and use that as the "gift" radio.

The PT94 case with the PT95 chassis, I have sent for repairs. It may or may not get back before Christmas, but doesn't really matter, because this will become my personal radio.

I think ? With crossed fingers, that except for intalling new on/off/volume controls, I am finished with these radios and they will be ready for Christmas.

Thanks again for all your help.

Once Christmas ends, no more sending radios out for servicing, I have a project radio or two for the winter, that I am going to work through myself and attempt to apply some of the learning (through the school of hard knocks) that I have gained the past few months.
