Update: Since I had the radio chassis out of the cabinet I decided to do a better job of cleaning it up than I did when it was given to me as a kid.
I used an air compressor to blow out some detritus that I'd missed the first time and when I powered the radio up to listen to it while I waited for some helpful posts from the experts here, it has developed an arc in that paper wound transformer. I can see burns in the paper. I presume this is very bad news. Advice is appreciated...thx...
