Beware of trying to test old wax capacitors. It's very easy to get misleading readings, as leaks cause them to read high. They're all likely to be leaky after 60 years, even in the Aussie climate.

Yes. This a an Aussie unit. Will be replacing all the black goo filled caps as there is black goo leaking but seems to have solidified, tomorrow.
My quiet Sunday evening project.
None of the schematics seem to have the same valve complement.
