I thought you might like a follow up on the radio repair. Open B+ winding in transformer, got lucky with the small wire broken at the large wire that exits, successfully repaired. 1 leaky electrolytic in power supply, replaced all of them. Paper caps replaced. Found 1 open resistor and 3 resistors that had changed values way out of tolerance, a gassy 6AQ5 tube, and an IF transformer with grid winding having the internal SM capacitor open. Replaced with an external capacitor. Someone also tried to mod the S/RF meter switch so the S meter would work in RF position and I restored that back to factory wiring. I put too many hours in this one but I was determined to fix it.
Thank you again for providing the service info.

So the radio is working now? Thanks for the info on the repair... Dan
Yes, its working. On to the next project radio, a Regency Range Gain.
I have the schematic. The transformer in it is shorted internally. Tar has melted out of it
