1946 Silvertone 6002 Midget

Here is a picture after I recapped the radio

I use to take the effort to pull the old caps out completely but on this radio I just clipped the leads and pig tailed the new cap onto the old lead

I also repared a small tear in the speaker

One thing to note about metal cased radios of this vintage. Sometimes the case is connected to one side of the line, so can be at 120 VAC potential, depending on how it is plugged in. One of our radio club members got a good shock by standing in a pool of water(at a local festival where we were displaying radios) and touching the metal case of a radio.

Be careful! Safety rules were not as strict as now.
