OK lookin for the book...
 Does any of the parts websites sell custom rebuild kits for this or will it be a self made cap list like some of my last repairs?? Is there a bulk kit by justradios i can get that will cover the demand?? SR

Most tube gear don't have model specific cap kits. Bob's capacitor does sell a generic $20 kit with 5-10 of each commonly used value in most radios.
If you do a good amount of tube repair you'll find it is cheaper and easier to go on Mouser, Allied, and or Digikey order up ~25-100 of each value of paper cap in 630V rating, a good assortment of lytics, store them in a small hardware organizing drawer case in a sorted manner and keep a stock. I never have to take stock of the number of caps in a set (unless I'm quoting a customer a parts cost) or make a small order....Also most of the big parts houses cut you BIG discounts on bulk orders....Add to that the $10-30 fixed shipping cost is a smaller percent of the total order cost when you make a $1-200 bulk order (you could save $100 on shipping alone just by ordering 10 sets worth of caps at once instead of in 10 separate orders). When you've worked on as many tube TVs+radios as I have you get a feel for what values go fast and what you can keep smaller stock of.

The link only works for logged in members of the Philco Phorum. It takes you to a thread that states the author has a few copies left and is will to sell them to Philco Phorum members for $13.50.

Just registered awaiting approval.. meanwhile, considering adding a 3 prong cord i have lying around to the radio since the original is unsalvageable. The question i have is would the Ground leg make a good GROUND point for the antenna ground? or would it be too "noisy"?
Or should i just use a standard 2 pin cord?? SR Last edited by Boobtubeman; 07-13-2017 at 04:41 PM.

Most of the noise I get is not via AC mains but radiated from noisy crap like cheap LED screw-in lamps and crummy high-THD electronic ballasts. The AM loop antennas are especially prone.
