Terry,
   I agree there is always the possibility for problems when not replacing all of the caps but I was just hoping to work thru quickly. Voltages looked good, and caps and resistors good except for the shorted ones I found. .

I need to order the small e-caps . Somehow I managed to only have on 2.0 uf left and no 1 uf. If I decide to go further with this radio I will do a total recap. (The speaker should be ok for a model 16 or 17 and I have those chassis as well. )I just don't like it that much. I used it as a tool to learn how to free up the band switch since I have a model 66 tombstone with a frozen switch as well.
                                                     Thanks ,
                                                            Henry
