Let's review by looking under the chassis again, as it looked when I began:

Here is how things look now:

Things are much neater down here now. Restuffing the original electrolytic cans made a big difference, and opened up some room underneath.
I had to rebuild both dial lamp sockets, also.
I also installed a speaker connector and a new speaker wiring harness made from three new cloth-covered wires (the type sold by Radio Daze).
The chassis was missing four of its six tubes. Of the two that remained, one was a 6D6 in place of the original 78. The other was a 75. I went to my tube stash and found six tubes of the (mostly) proper type, and installed these, removing the 6D6 and the 75 that were in place on the chassis. I did not have a 7A7. I found that a 7B7 could be used as a substitute. I had a few spare 7B7 tubes, so one was installed in the radio.
