The thing to do is replace all the electrolytic and paper capacitors in it. Cost is usually less than $10 if you do it yourself. The multiple condenser cans are pretty much a thing of the past and nowadays are replaced with indivilual caps under the chassis; unless it is a museum grade restoration, then you pack them in the old can. The Trans Oceanic is going to get that done to it if I don't decide to part it out. There is corrosion that the seller neglected to mention. It does work across all bands however.
