Unknown cathedral radio... HELP !

I have finished with the chassis restoration. I replaced all but 2 of the condensers, which I think are micas and probably OK. Those 8MFD Solens are big compared to electrolytics of the same rating, but I managed to fit them in. All the resistors were well within 20% of their marked value, but I replaced the two big 20K ones anyway with new 5 watt 20K ceramic resistors. I left the others. I replaced the old line cord and the 4 wires that will go to the speaker with new cloth covered wires. The line cord is the twisted kind that it originally had. When I cut the wires to the speaker I labeled each end number 1 - 4. The replacement wires are brown, red, orange, and yellow, think resistor color code. When I desolder the marked stubs on the speaker, it will be a breeze to reconnect the new wires correctly.
