I'm 40% through recapping the radio of this monster. So far only one resistor
was over 18% high and it was 1.5 Meg rather than 1.0, the 6A8 2nd grid resistor, so I left it.The area around the can electrolytic is a nightmare so
I'm not restuffing it ... in any case no one will notice as their eyes will all be in the area of the former Candohm.

I am restuffing the paper caps, but even with McVoy's generous stock
of old ones I could not always use the original size bodies as some diameters
were too small. Nor do all the ends look right ... I'm wondering: will
painting the visible ends (which are hot glue) black with acrylic paint be OK?
Will it flake off?
