I finished one of those recently. Replacing all of that old crumbing rubber wiring was a chore! Mine also had a defective oscillator coil - there is a dead end wiring which serves as a capacitor, and it had become open. I bought a parts radio to obtain the speaker (mine was buzzing), and also removed the oscillator coil from it. The radio now works very well, picking up numerous stations, and it sounds good. Of course, I now have a spare cabinet with a nice dial glass.
