fixing am radio?

The best advice so far is about the electrolytic capacitors. ................. I would take a look at these folks.

I don't see any reason to spend that kind of money. A car radio is not a show piece inside, so I see no reason to keep original looks, but newer caps are much smaller than old, and you can actually "gut" the old tin can electrolytics (with a little work) and slip new ones in from Digikey, Mouser, etc.

I do agree that caps are probably the no2 problem area after tubes, assuming a tube type radio.
