Dave,
These old oil capacitors usually were filled with PCB which is hazardous
to health and have to be disposed in a proper way. Probably already you
know it and this warning is superfluous and , but anyway it may be
useful to somebody else.
Regards,

What was interesting about this rig, was there was only one
electrolytic cap I could identify and it was a low voltage one. All
the large power supply caps appear to be oil filled caps. After the
USUAL procedure of gradually raising the line voltage and letting it
cook for awhile (just a metaphor - don't be alarmed :) I did notice
the AC line filter was getting warm and smelly. I will end up
changing it. I don't usually change resistors and capacitors unless
they actually are out of range or noisy. I prefer to troubleshoot to
the actual problem rather than shotgun change parts.
I really would like to get some information and help with this rig
instead of just a discussion about how to power up an old radio. I
appreciate any help you can provide.
Dave
