I finally finished the recap and fired it up for the first time.
Once the radio is working, I'll mount those electrolytic caps more securely.

At first it was howling with feedback then I realized I forgot to reinstall the 75 tube shield.

It's working fairly well on both AM and SW, but not as much gain as I expected. Next, I'll double check all the voltages and do an alignment.
