Post some pics when you get a chance, Murf. Would like to see it!

Like Doug said, after a re-cap/alignment, it should be very impressive. I feel your pain with the work involved with a large set. My 37-116 and Continental 16R took awhile to replace and fix everything that needed replaced and fixed!

Your set is definitely worth taking the time to do it right. Good luck!!!

Hi again guy's,
After re-capping,(did not do the cough drops)replacing a few resistors,and a bunch of rotted wires,the radio plays,but not as it should.Does not pull in the stations as strong as it should and there is some backround noise and static when tuned in.
Could this be due to needing an alignment,or should I be looking at something else?
THere were some pretty brittle wires with missing rubber causing the crackling and popping.Thats gone now.
Just need to figure out why its not receiving as it should and eliminate the backround noise.
ANy suggestions?
Is this a hard one to align?
Thanks again,
murf

Figured out why the stations were weak.
After looking at the alignment instructions it stated that number 4 IF coil must not be adjusted from factory setting.Should have 4 threads exposed.It was turned out to about 7 threads exposed.
Dialed it in where it should be,and it now picks up the stations fine.
It has plenty of volume,but a little distorted on low volume.
Think that doing an alignment will improve the distortion?
Thanks guy's
