The Plot Thickens !

So just for kicks I figured I'd inspect the radio the repair slip was found in . Come to find out , not only was the repair bill in there , so too were the tubes that had been replaced along with a capacitor that is presumably the one listed in the bill of repairs . The customer appears to have used masking tape to tape the old parts into the battery compartment . Problem is , there are NO "new" capacitors . I can find no evidence of soldering work on any of the capacitors that looks like it was done "after the fact" , ALL connections appear to be as built . I do see the 3Q4 appears gassy , but I intend to test the other three tubes paying special care to perform a through shorts test on all three .

PS , this customer hosing wasn't administered in Massachusetts , Massachusetts is just where the set ended up . The slip says "Danielson Conn." .....
