Well I've made some progress with this radio, I've got most of the exposed paper caps replaced, except for 3 of them, of which one of them was an oddball value cap that was rated at .00125 MFD, and the other one which was a .05 MFD with a 300 Ohm Wirewound resistor in paralell with it which I'm leaving alone and then a .10 MFD 600 VDC Capacitor that was added later on by a repairman that was tied into one of the bakelite caps.
I also figured out my low volume issue with the audio on my radio, someone at some point in time subbed out the 37 tube with an 84/6Z4 rectifier tube, which I'm not sure how someone would of thought that using a full wave rectifier tube in place of a triode tube would of ever worked especially in a AVC/Detector circuit...
