restoring a 41-265 help please.
#1

I'm interested in knowing the top ten list for points on restoring a 41-265 I have. It powers up and pulls in AM stations only right now. I know the power cord needs to be replaced as do the volume and tone potentiometers. I'm sure there are some caps that should as well, but I would like an idea on which ones? As well, does anyone have a manual or worksheet on how to properly align the tuner so as to be able to pick up the other bands? I've downloaded what I can off the internet but I've yet to find a step by step on getting good alignment so as to maximize the stations one can pick up across all bands. Lastly, where does one pick up an extra tube set for this unit? I haven't tried looking on ebay just yet but will start doing this soon.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Steve

PS - Any idea on how to get a replacement speaker? The current one works, but it has a hole in the cone and is dry as dry can be.
