[ARC5] Restoring a BC-455-b, request advices

[Paolo Gramigna]

Hi all,
I'm a newcomer here. I just acquired a complete (less dynamotor) and 
good-looking BC-455-B and I would like to restore it to good working 
conditions. I'm planning to use it in order to listen to the few 
remaining broadcasting stations, while enjoying the sound of a truly 
vintage radio.

I have seen several posts in the web suggesting to replace the 
capacitors, especially the electrolytic ones, with modern ones. That 
will cause big detriment to the authenticity, but probably will be 
beneficial to the functionality.

What is your wise advice?

thanks!
