Hi all and thanks for the great responses!  I went with a can left over from another radio, kinda scratched up but it does the job:

   

Looks a little worse underneath but that's OK.  I'm completely out of wire and added a couple of pieces of 14 gauge wire temporarily so I know where the speaker connections will go.  Might have to redo it eventually if I can't find an original speaker since I'll need those bigger caps.  There's an original on eBay but it isn't cheap!

   

A couple of other questions.  Does anyone know what #4 is on this schematic?

   

The schematic makes it sound like it's part of the box of 5 caps going to ground but I think that's a mistake.  The markings make me think it's a resistor, it has an orange body:

   

Lastly (for now) I'm working on the tone caps.  Am I correct in thinking 48 is always going to ground and the switch adds 47 in parallel?  Seems right, just want to be sure...

   

Mounted a terminal tie strip inside for the caps, done with the bakelite boxes!

   

Next I'll work on the RF coil when my coil wire comes in the mail.  Thanks again!
