Starting to put everything back together now.
Everything seems to work (though I'm not picking up any shortwave even after connecting to the antenna in the console.) 
Overall the reception through the broadcast band is pretty good with noise in the signal dependent on which outlet I use in the house.
A lot of cabinet cleanup, with some restore-a-finish in a few places. 
Also, need to somehow replace the station labels - suggestions for that?

Overall, I learned just a ton. Made a number of dumb mistakes in retrospect and still so much to learn. 
Thanks for all the guidance along the way!
