Trumpy, an excellent place to ask for information and help is the UseNet newsgroup rec.antiques.radio+phono.

If you have a picture of the radio and tube linup it would help a lot. However if you're going to post a picture for that newsgroup, don't do it on the newsgroup itself - they have a separate "binaries" group set up for that.

Tube sockets and capacitors are pretty much standard items that can usually be clipped out and replaced with no problem. If the set has been mangled up terribly by previous repair efforts you will certainly need a schematic or wiring diagram.

Good luck. Those old radios can become addictive!! [Linked Image]
