Finished the recap, recarb and much of the rubber wire. Fortunately the power transformer was a replacement and had cloth wire. This isn’t the prettiest chassis but it’s better than it was. A 1 amp fuse was also added to the hot side of the power cord, seen in the lower left corner.

After reinstalling the tuner cap with new rubber mounts, dial scale bracket, restringing the dial and putting the tubes back in she fired up and was able to pull in the local talk radio show on 630AM. The push button for that range was also able to be tuned to 630 so that is working as well. Needs alignment and I need to find some square tube shields as the ones on this puppy are missing but I’m tickled it’s working again. Thanks to Nathan, I was able to get a replacement speaker and not have to try putting a new voice coil/cone into the one that came with the set. Cabinet work will have to wait until spring time but that's a different thread.
