  I use post it notepad sheets to clean out the speaker gaps, fold it with the sticky sides back to back and work it into the gap, helps grab onto the dirt in the gap.

  Blimy David.. getting started without a circuit diagram.. &nbsp;If that had been me, I&apos;d have been like a one legged bloke in an ass kicking contest.. Brilliant and exacting piece of work as always..

  I truly enjoy watching you work David. &nbsp;I am an engineer for 3 small market radio stations, and the only tubes (valves) used in our FM transmitter are the 5CX1500A. &nbsp;I was trained in a time when everything was solid-state, except for the final power amplifier. &nbsp;Of course, transmission is different than reception in many ways. &nbsp;You are a true Master Crafstman. Very few people take the time to work the small details these days, it&apos;s truly a joy to see your restore these units. &nbsp; Have a great week, Sincerely, Randall Mann

  VERY NICE 📻 radio collection. I forgot to tell ya that 📻 capacitors hold a charge, even when the 📻 radio is unplugged. I do 👎 not know if an isolation transformer can &quot;ground&quot;, or &quot;dump&quot; this stored voltage. I 👌 know a shock from a capacitor can be potentially dangerous, especially in persons with ❤ heart problems. You can usually discharge capacitors by putting a screwdriver across the terminals, but, regarding these old 📻 radios, you want to properly discharge capacitors, if they&apos;re 👍 good, instead of ruin them. Sounds 👍 like ya have some 🔥 hot capacitors, which probably have gone ☝ up in value. Just be careful 👎 not to burn yourself, or be hurt, if the capacitor decides to explode. Also, be careful of starting an accidental 🔥 fire. Your friend, Jeff.
