Mineral spirits should dissolve away the pitch and wax slowly but leave any paint code dots or coil sealants intact.

By description, seems the contents is a pair of tuned loading coils to broaden the response of each leg of the antenna wire.

It is also possible that there are resonances setup for the shortwave bands, popular and solar active at the time. Reviewing the solar cycle activity charts of that era may reveal that shortwave radios were built to favor those band openings.
