Ok, All coils and IF caps and Output Transformer check out OK..
I did notice a wrong value of resistor in radio Its R6 I think Value 220 Ohms.. There is a 1K resistor in there.. Not really sure if it is original...
Will it make any difference?

Neat set, a brown version of this is featured in a late 3 Stooges, with Shemp. They are income tax preparers, the red lite when on is cool. Good luck.

Ok, Since no answers.. I put together 2 .1 600 Volt caps in series to make a .05 at 1200 Volts and put in ..
Finished wiring up the E-Caps and tomorrow will power it up..

200V is more than enough.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

You might want a high voltage cap in that location. It connects between the chassis and AC line.
Depending on which way the line cord is plugged in, its either neutral or hot connected to the chassis if the cap shorts.

Ok, Thanks all.. Completed the Caps and resistors replacement. Plugged in and brought up slowly. At 117 Volts draws .25 amps.. Radio plays and picks up many stations.. On to alignment as dial is off a little..
