Thanks for the reply, I followed all the advice, and I'm glad I did. The power supply is all finished up and I have a good set of tubes all tested up for it. Just a couple questions now; I checked the power supply voltages and they look like they will be good once loaded with tubes. Is there a way to test filament voltages without tubes, or is it a leap of faith type thing? I was very lucky with this radio, as it hadn't been all hacked up. The couple repairs that I found, were good enough to fix up. I did mount a couple terminal strips for the new caps, and they fit quite nicely, I did remove the little plug deal for the 220 adapter to make a neater job of the recap, but I'm pretty sure I'll never move to Europe.
Would it be a good idea to place a thin piece of sheet metal under the chassis where the battery would have been. They do mention putting one there when aligning the set, so my thinking is, it may improve overall performance.
Thanks again, jay
