This is all up and running.
Restoration notes:
New caps throughout including PS caps, resistors checked and replaced as needed, replaced bad wiring, Bakelite block redone with safety caps, new dial cord, new polarized power cord with rubber grommet added in chassis, added 1 amp fast blo fuse, case cleaned, patched hole in speaker and replaced all bulbs with GE1847

Had it running for several hours. No apparent problems. Sounds fine. Receives well on AM with internal antenna. Still needs an alignment but I need to fix my signal generator to do that. Job for later.
