Not yet, but I am also considering it on The radio from my 53. First step is to get a schematic that has all The caps you need listed, then you have to choose new caps that meet or exceed (but not too much) the cap and volt spec of The originals. I am tentative about taking on The task, and it might be a little nuts, but sure would be cool if it works. There are also People that restore home Radios as a hobby, so it cant be rocket Science. A friend of mine restores old pinball machines, and it is similar work. He volunteereed to help me pick out The caps. I don't know if there is an Easy. Source to get all The caps in one shot.
I am interested to see what we hear on this. On The other Hand, soldering out/in 10 to 15 caps is one thing, but troubleshooting if it needs more work could require some in depth Research.
