I had a chance to work on things again today, and it has been interesting. To begin with, my solder sucker came from togetherness and flew in different directions. So, I patched it with electric tape until I get a new one. I am working in an area of this radio that has some previous service, or hacking may be a better term. It seemed this radio liked to do quite a bit of smoking and the repairman liked to destroy the bakelite blocks. Most resisters have been replaced, and huge globs of solder on the terminals and a half fried dogbone. Oh, if you look at the far left bakelite (23), the terminal was also clipped, and left with no cap attached! I guess the cap shorted and the repairman just clipped it to fix instead of replacing with something else. Maybe wasn't too critical. Enough of these resistors have drifted or been fried that I may replace all.
Below is the #23 bakelite in the IF section .1 and .01 and I verified that I have these connected properly.
Fried...
