I've still got a radio upstairs dating from the early 30s. It's a year or two
since I last used it but it was still working ok, despite having the original
electrolytics in the smoothing. Some others have been changed, and
modifications were done in the late 60s. I now wish I hadn't tried to improve
its performance then.

Is that the KW2000a?
