D, according to my Riders manual, R7 is a old style candohm style resistor, and no cap should be in that area of the chassis period. If someone placed a cap there in the past by mistake, cut it loose and get rid of it (keeping notes of where you removed it), then re-consult your schemat. Seems to me you are rebuilding a "previously-hacked" radio chassis. Those are hard to diagnose over the internet!! I have run into many of those in my yrs also!! Look closely at the part I referred you to on my schematic, it should be a old-style metal ( riveted to the chassis) type part ( 83 ohm resistor only). I noticed Ron put up some info for you on his last post. Reading that info should get you informed better. Personally, I dont collect or restore the (record player/radio combos) at all. I never cared for those styles much anyways. Just tryin to help on the schemat of the radio. If your record player still works, once you get your radio-chassis working, you should be in business!!
