It is obvious the radio was repaired one or more times. But it was a repair: the old caps are not disconnected, nor are they re-stuffed.
Plus a new electrolytic one is there, and a couple of newer carbon composite resistors.

It seems that the volume pot is good.
I will have to check the dogbones, restuff the backelites, the tin-cans, and see if I do want to take upon that big can filter. (I hate that one).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
