Nice job! 
Always rewarding after a such a resto. Yours was more than just a few caps and maybe a resistor or two. I rarely find tubes that are actually bad. I also find a radio is the best tube tester made. If I'm unsure of a tubes condition, I'll swap it out with several if the need arises. I've found in the past that output and rectifier tubes take the biggest pounding.
