Thanks. That's why I don't change anything before consulting people who know more than I. 
Since I'm still a newb at this, I stick to the newb rules of changing out the electrolytic caps, trying a start-up then doing a cap at a time vs shotgunning all the caps. Is there any advantage to changing out the rest of the caps at this point?
And let me throw this out there too. When I got this radio the pilot lamp was blown. I picked up a bulb at radio shack and it fits and lights up when I run a 9v through it. Is it possible that the bulb is "wrong" or could be part of my problem?
