If it were my radio, full restoration without a second thought! At bare minimum new caps and resistors. You can't trust 85 year old components, no matter how good they seem to look. Many sites are available for replacement components on the net and other outlets. You might want to also look into joining any local radio clubs for information sources. You found this PHORUM, you can also find the parts! Take your time, be meticulous, and above all... have fun!
Take care, and BE HEALTHY! Gary
