One other thing to be careful with whilst you are rebuilding the RF section is not to accidently change the shape those large coils made out of the thick wire. You have probably realized this but those are for the FM section, and there is likely a procedure for adjusting them, but I think that they are very fussy and best left alone, unless there is some component you need to replace under them.
Happy Christmas
Happy New Year
