It seems the radio employs a multitude of paper caps. Or they look to me like paper caps, so I decided to check.
Here is 3,300pF cap being measured out of circuit.
The one marke 0.015uF is 0.059uF.
So it seems like a recap is in order. I was hoping to avoid that.
Those brown plastic-molded ones are also way up. About x2. The paper-looking ones are x4.
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.
