Success! I brought it up on the variac and after futzing with the bandswitch a few times (probably dirty) it received decently on the broadcast band - especially considering nothing but the electrolytics have been replaced.

Next step will be to go through the paper caps.

One hopeful bit - the code 125 RF subchassis looks almost reasonable - I think all of the paper caps might actually be accessible enough to replace them without taking the whole thing apart!
