 I'm going to try to put video here of the radio playing. Hope it links.

 Still have to do alignment and the volume control is touchy.
Anyone seeing this video please look at the amperage draw meter, and let me know if that seems right for this radio.
Thanks

Mike,
 That's a nice looking radio. You did a good job. I can't say I would spend the time to restuff the caps though, but you never know.   I will have to keep an eye out for one. I like the cabinet style.
