1) do not spray the bandswitch wih De-Oxit.

2) amass all the patience you can find if the bandswitch needs work.

3) you MUST replace the caps feeding the audio output grid.. or you'll burn 
up that tube.

4) CAREful with the tuning lock assembly.. you can BUST it if you don't 
know how it comes apart (I have the detials).

I can forward my notes file to you on this radio..Lots of lore and 
experience.  I have one here which is waiting it's turn for overhaul.

Remember; this is a VERY sweet radio once it's running right.
