I have owned this set since 1977 and the only thing I did up until this restoration was replace two tubes plus the tuning eye. It sounded very good when I bought it, but after owning it 34 years, it sounded like it needed to have the caps replaced. The FM tuner wasn't working very well and it also needed to be recapped. A complete recap was done for both the FM tuner chassis and the AM/SW Receiver. All of the caps were original and leaky. I realigned the FM tuner and it's okay but can't compare with today's FM tuners. The tuner has no AFC so there is a slight amount of drift until the tuner warms up. These older tuners need an outside antenna to really work well. Currently I'm using the built in FM antenna which isn't very good. The Webster 56 changer plays 78's only. It would not reject at the end of a record. A tension spring that controls the trip mechanism had to be adjusted. The idler wheel has a slight nick in it and so it will need to be rebuilt. When I bought the set, the crystal cartridge was dead so I replaced it with an Astatic 81T which does a very good job of reproducing records.
