Well, for now, I'm going to leave it.  The radio is working great on the bench.  I'll keep it going for a few days to shake out any problems.  I also need to get some cloth covered AC cord rather than the 3 wire computer cord I'm using temporarily.  I've finished the magnetic tuning back light system and added the additional LED lighting to help light the station tabs.  Pat is sending me some tube shields - THANK YOU!.  When I get those, I'll tin plate all of them as these are pretty bad looking.  Madsowry is sending me some old paper caps so I can get rid of the 2 Chinese yellow ones.  THANK YOU!  Here a couple of photos, one with Magnetic tuning off and one on.
