Other than the obvious/usual...on Model 89 and 19 sets, you will have to deal with the oscillator coil. Chances are the "tickler" winding (the outer winding on the coil) is bad and will require rewinding.
I strongly suggest that, before you start to rewind that winding, that you remove the coil (make careful notes of what wire connects to which terminal) and bake the coil in your oven for 15 to 30 minutes at no higher than 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This will drive any trapped moisture out of the coil.
Scoff if you want, but it works...and sometimes, the coil simply will not work at all unless it gets baked first.
