Hey Chad and Sean - thanks for the info. My Sam's photofact arrived today and they call the cap a line filter. Not exactly sure what that means. Anyway, this cap (c21) seems to have been working very hard as it is the most damaged looking. The wax is all melted and bubbling.

I tested all the tubes and they all tested good, so I used a variac to power the unit up over 18 hours. The radio is working very well. They really built these radios to last.

I am going to recap and change out the selenium rectifier placing a 100 ohm 10 watt resistor ahead of the silicon diode. There is already a 47 ohm 2 watt (R7) (strange looking resistor - called a rectifier balast in the Sam's) before (ahead of) the Sel. Rectifier. Do I leave it in or remove it?

BTW, to make things more confusing, the Sams says it's 47 and the schematic I attached says its 47K. It has a yellow and black band on it. In between there seems to be some sort of woven fabric. Thanks again.
