I am always amazed when these rusty hulks get cleaned up, recapped, recarbed, repaired and actually come back to life 
Amazingly on this set, all the coils were OK. The only replacement part other than resistors and caps was the audio transformer which had an open primary. The replacement came from Playthings from the Past. This 50 is now playing. I'll check alignment but I think its actually pretty close as the set is playing as well as most that I've worked on. I'll put the dial back on, align it and start on the cabinet.
