I have a cap checker(heathkit). I just have not used it . My signal gen. burned up but I have access to another so alignment will be easy enough. This radio came from Fair Radio in Lima, OH.They bought the stock from a tv/radio repair shop that closed in the 70's. I have purchased all sorts of radios and a couple tv's from them. What is unusual about the ones I have worked on is there are alot of mica/ceramic caps that are bad in these sets. The owner at Fair stated that he felt is was the fact that these sets were stored in an unkept building for 30 odd years. The temperature changes he felt ruined more caps then you would normally see. I did go ahead and spray this set with electronics cleaner last night but it is still kind of wet so I will try again later tonight.
