Pat, when you get the schematic, check your rig and see if its an early
Valiant I, or not. An early Valiant will have wirewounds with slider
taps instead of the 2 side mounted pots for mod bias, etc. If yours has
the ww resistors, I've got the early schematics... somewhere here...
BAMA doesn't have that particular one.

Mine has the pots so it is a later version.
I am about ready to go in and replace the old electrolytic capacitors
today.
Should the .1 400v and .5 400v paper caps go also? If so, replace
them with what ?
I am planning to use 1n5407 diodes and bypass the rectifier tubes(but
leave the filaments on for 'glow' appeal).

I must say, this Valiant is a work of art. Such beautiful
components. It's a shame to see them relegated to the dust heap.
