Other ailments are also present.
The lamp socket requires rebuilding as the insulation inside is all crumbling. I have done it but forgot I need a nylon washer. Will have to find one.

I have finished the recap. THis is how it looks now.

   

Also, a funny find: the 300 Ohm resistor happened to be a 27K one, measuring at 30K. Considering there is no obvious change in wiring, I wonder how it ever worked after that repair. The resistor is visible here. It is #31 in the sch below.

What else...all resistors are done. Now I need the speaker. For alignment I could get by a PM one (I cannot seem to locate my perm 8" speaker after that French drain disaster of a project...).

Obviously, all has to be done via an isolation xfmr, as this one is a "warm" chassis radio, the AC IN wire (I intend to make it N) separated from the chassis by 0.15uF cap, which is a true death cap.
Now I will pause a bit.
