ive been recapping my 1933 Majestic model 310A so i took a couple pics








one of the G-58 tubes is broken and the 55 tubes is missing the top so if any body has these let me know I need em !

Very nice radio.
Very similar to the Philcos of that time. Does it work?

I just finished the recap and put everything back together. no worky.

going to take it back to my friends house tmrw and put it on a signal generator and see if we can't align it.

One of the G-58's that i thought was broken still lights up but I'm unsure if it works. I bet that one or more of the tubes is bad, regardless of whether it lights or not. but my friend has a tube -*test*-('")er to it's all good.

YEAH !!!! i got er workin. turns out, the volume control is 99% destroyed.

the tuning dial only works from 550 to about 900. 1000-1600 is DEAD. i wonder whats causing this?

any input about this would be much appreciated !

Bad conctats...? Try to use some contact cleaner for copper and brass.
Here's an intersting mix i'd tried in my Vintage Radio, that you can mix at home:

Oleic acid mixed with standard Coleman Fuel. Oleic acid is an organic acid found in things like cocoa and olive oil and not considered dangerous. It is used for many things in industry ranging from lubricants to cosmetics to food flavorings.
My recommended mix with the Coleman fuel (naptha) or regular lighter fluid is 5%. You may also add acetone to speed up the drying time.

Btw, here's an interesting link you may find useful:
