Hi Gregg,

Thanks for the quick response.  It aapears that you are a bit ahead of me in repairing the model 54.  It sounds like you have strip[ed the entire radio and doing a "frame off" restoration.  Not quite sure whether I am that ambitious right now, given all the other projects I need to attend to.

A couple questions,
   1)  How do I get in touch with Chuck.  I am new to this group.

    2)  With respect to the electrolytic caps, does the larger one have two 12uf sections or one 12 uf and one 3 uf section.  Also the smaller capacitor is that 3 uf or 12 uf?

Off to the hardware store to find some PB blaster.

Thanks for your help.  By the way I have boxes and boxes of new parts, a couple thousand NO stock tubes and a lot of stuff I would enjoy trading or selling in an attempt to declutter my house.  Let me know what you might need and I will take a look.

Bruce
