If the radio isn't going to be played a lot, and the voltage looks good, you can probably get by leaving it in. I usually replace with a 1N4007/resistor just in case i sell or trade the new owner won't get a nasty surprise someday.
You can often leave them in place and tuck the diode out of sight.
Your restoration looks good so far
