Exactly what I was thinking !

Now were this an "heirloom" set with the value of a Walton or similar of course I'd want to see it remain all original , warts & all , because that's how it was built . But where this isn't a set of any great monetary value , and because tinkering to make it better was a common thing back in the day when most radios were owned by technically minded/inclined folks , I'd say go for it .

I always found the lessons I remembered best were those where improvements like this were attempted . Most were successful , some weren't , but I'd say I learned something with each attempt that I may not have learned had I just left the set alone in it's stock configuration .
