Hi Dennis and Welcome!
Just finished up a model 87 a few months back. Good playing set for 1929. When rebuilding the filter bank be sure to follow the values of the caps pretty closely when selecting the replacements. Open primaries on the rf coils is common but easy to rewind and leaky bypass caps too.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
