Been in a loft for years.
The mains wiring is perished and other wiring looks dodgy so testing some
things cold first.
Using 9V battery and 300 ohm dropper shows near enough 9V over the
rectifier, how high V do you have to go with a good one to check it ?
Are there safety grounds anyway for changing to a 1N4007 or so ?

If you want to listen to the radio, there are lots better ways to do it.

OLD radios have emotional and monetary value just because they're old.
I never understood why people pay huge bux for something just because
it's old..."Hey, look at me, I just paid big bux for a radio that
sounds like crap!! But I got one of only 1000 in existence.
Ain't I cool?"...but I digress...

I suggest that both the emotional and monetary value of an old thing is
a strong function of it's "stockness". Stated another way, the
less stuff you change, the more value it has. Stated another way,
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Put your effort into forming the caps before you plug it in.
