Thanks. 

There’s absolutely no room in there to do any kind of twisting or bending. I just carefully removed the two aerial compensators over these parts and replaced both the .05 mfd caps and the 4.7k ohm resistors. Obviously using a soldering iron anywhere near those wax coils is sort of scary. I’ve noted the area in question on the attachment.

Everything is back in place and the radio works well so success. Back to checking the other resistors while I wait for my dial cord to arrive.

Any idea what this uses for pilot lamps? LEDs won’t work because of the metal shield on lamp assembly won’t work with the physical design of the led which has a rim.
