Over the years I have restored many radios "recapped" by others. In about half of these, the reason the radio did not work was because of the work done - or not done. Do not trust an unknown "technician's" work. Any repairs should be verified prior to operating the device (radio). If you continue to run the transformer into an excessive load it will fail.
