The Marconi 858 is now up and runing working on MW/LW/SW. all the capacitors are new and the six Electrolytiic capacitors in the block are new. The next step is to put the caps back in - side the old ones. Then i will have to rub the the case down it looks like the 858 has had a hard life in the past it has had replacement valves in it and 3 or 4 resistors replaced. The sound is good but i will still clean all the valve pins and contacts on the switch banks ,you can see in the photo the red neon on the tester saying the cap is leaking.
Photo of capacitor leaking on the CRB Tester all the capacitors in the radio were leaking.
