    This has to be the very best video on explaining capacitors. I have this very same radio, and this has helped me so much. I look forward to future videos.

      Thank you, Eddie, and welcome to the channel. I’m working on a video that focuses only on capacitors. Hopefully, out soon.

    At 6:00, I'd mount a binding post to the chassis, and then mount the CAPs to the Post's! Would look much nicer...

      So would I, but this video is directed toward someone who only has hand tools and a soldering iron. Thanks for watching.

    You trust the resistors? Or did I miss something? I probably did you are no beginner like me.

      I measured the value of each resistor, and if it was within 20%, left it in-circuit. I also look for resistors that look scorched or slightly burnt, and replace them, sometimes with a higher wattage version.

    Well, these are functional repairs, however I think a true restoration repair would be different. First, I see no effort to locate the foil end of the capacitors and j hooks are kind of sloppy. How much effort does it take to use a good desoldering tool to open the lugs on the tube sockets. Second, I would have removed the old filter cap and install lug strips to use axial lead capacitors to remain more in keeping with the original build style. Capacitors that belong on a circuit board just look rigged zip tied in there. I also did not see any effort to address the power cord polarity or the death capacitor and/or safety capacitor. If your happy with this, fine, would not be me. Sorry
