BTW, I've got a red AM only version of this radio.
There's a mixture of 'lytics bundled together, disc caps, and what look like Orange Drops. Oh, and a crapload of electrical tape. I believe the electrolytic caps were bundled together to replace the original value of a larger paper or wax cap. What's the model # of that AM-only model, and what tubes has it got? Sounds neat!
