Today I removed one of the coils to replace the old wire. All of the coils check out OK and it's ready to be re-installed. 

Unfortunately the more I look at the chassis wiring, the more damage that I see. Much of the cloth wiring is badly deteriorated and broken, thereby exposing potential shorts. I also found signs of insect or rodent damage. It looks like I will end up replacing much of the wiring. I think I will use modern wire under the chassis and new cloth wire on top.

I purchased the speaker from Ebay today. (Thanks for the heads up Terry!) I am waiting on my order of capacitors and resistors from  JustRadios.com

Since I am taking the chassis down this far, I may as well repaint it also. Anyone know if the tube shields are mild steel? They look to be plated in some kind of brass. I am not exactly sure where to go with that. Any tips would be much appreciated...
