Cool So the rewiring begins

Extensive rewiring. The rectifier tube was shorted out and gassy. Literally saving this from scrap heap. Probaly someone started this set up with all old filter caps expecting radio to work. Nearly a third of power supply is a large multi filer cap. All caps are connected separately. May even have line filter cap included also. These early radios must if been dreaded by radio shops .when old specialty caps no longer available, have to recreate a replacement.

No early industry standards on marking + or - terminals. My kolster k23 had cap with wiring diagram. This cap for 6J no such luck

If someone could reply with a tuner chassis Pic of back of tuning gang without tubes would help thanks.
