OK this set is working, including the "tone" control. I have yet to align it, the volume control is scratchy and needs work and there is some general static but it is picking up our local am station and our weather and tide broadcast.
The bias cell was replaced with a C battery (mainly because I had a C battery holder in my drawer of miscellaneous stuff). There was a nice place on the chassis to mount it without drilling new holes. I'll do the aligning and some more cleaning on the chassis and knobs etc. The metal springs in the knobs were rusty and it was incredibly difficult to get the knobs off in the first place. It took a lot of WD-40 and patience. After that, its time to start working on the table/cabinet.
