As I had mentioned in the blog post on the many Crosleys that I had to work on -

Many if not all of the original caps had been thrown away. Even with my large stash of originals, I was out of most of the Crosley numbered W-XXXXX caps. My second choice is to use the same caps- CDE, Sprague, Solar, Micamold that the manufacture used, less the correct part #. With Crosley, it was most of these manufactures. With other manuf. they often used only one brand for the paper caps maybe another for the electrolytics. I have seen factory caps that were a mix of branded and unbranded. So with most manuf. - not Zenith - this sub is almost as good as original.

Your radio looks good, in any case.

P.S. I wish there were some way to encourage people to save the old original caps that they throw away (clink). I have even offered to pay for factory originals from the 1920s & 1930s. I just posted a WTB on ARF, so let's see.
