I tried the stereo, and it works so well, I don't think I'm going to change those electrolytics after all, it really is an excellent stereo, and there is no humming or any signs of those caps going bad. If anyone is actually looking for one of these big consoles and wants a good stereo this is it. It pulls in stations I can't get on many of my other radios with only the built in antennas, and it sounds great on both AM and FM. It will get quite loud too. The record player doesn't work at all the motor is completely dead. The uhf tuner continues to be strange, it was never made to be tuned with the knob, it sits on a fixed shaft, behind it is a set of gears which do tune the tuner, but these are not accessable from the front of the set. I tried it and it also didn't work at all, nothing but a blank raster. It is probably just hooked up wrong, like I said before, it looked to be a later addition with some goofy wiring. But I don't see much use in a tuner I can't even tune, so I might just remove it. I would have to find something that looks good to put over the hole though.
