Do you know why they designate V-1 as first *and* second FM converter? It doesn't look like a dual conversion circuit.

I don't know but I do know that I have my power cord for the radio now which I had found an old computer monitor power cord (the flat kind) at Goodwill today in a basket of miscellaneous cables so I got it home lopped off the ends and got a plug end put onto the one end (leaving the ground cable cut off just shy of where it enters the plug end) and now all I need to do is get a small rubber grommet to hold the wire into the chassis (they had a couple of pieces of cardboard with holes drilled into them in different spots with two rivets holding it in place originally) and wire in the new cord and I'll be all set as far as the cord goes.
Now as far as the capacitors go, will I necessarily need to replace the old blown out death cap with a new one? Couldn't I just cut out the old death cap and just leave it out of the circuit?
