I checked out most of the resistors , coils and chokes, and all checked out within reasonable tolerance.  

At this point, all I had left to do was install the new power cord and plug.

That was done early this evening, and at around 8:30pm PT, I took a deep breath, plugged it into my variac, and slowly brought it up.  

This video was taken during that 1st power up test.

This video only demonstrates the AM band, with no alignment done yet.  

I'm happy to report all bands were receiving signals, apparently where they should be on the dial.  
I'll still do a quick alignment, though.  

After taking the video, I let the radio run on my bench for a little over an hour. I felt the main transformer. It did get hot, but not so hot I couldn't keep my hand on it. I will be checking voltages over the next few days, and make any changes or adjustments before I stick it back in the cabinet.  

The record changer restoration will come later. Once I start on that, I will continue the documentation thread here.
