I found several "how to" websites and
papers on the web. They all said the same thing: "don't plug it
in" until you've checked out a few important things first. Old
caps may have developed shorts with age, and results can be
explosive. Even worse, shorted components can fry the rectifier tube or overload and wipe out the main power transformer, rendering
restoration unlikely to impossible. Fortunately I escaped this fate
only by sheer luck. |

 The best getting started reference I found is a
reprint from Practical Electronics, "Collecting
and Restoring Vintage Radios," available from the author, Paul
Stenning. His website, Vintage
Radio Repair and Restoration is also chock full of great how-to help.
