Just bought 37-620 want to get it working
#15

The power plug is about 12 inches from the wall outlet, which is as close as it will get until I get everything fixed.  I have the electrolytic capacitor replacements and the last tube ordered from antique electronic supply, should arrive later this week.  I plan to just do the new capacitors under the chassis, rather than try to put them in the cans.  Since the new ones are so much smaller, there's a lot more space now under the chassis than there used to be.
By the way, the last time I was soldering capacitors my well-meaning friend went to pick up the speaker and put his finger through the cone.  Can I repair the rip with super glue?  It's about one inch long.
