No, that doesn't look good...good luck to you with that.
The motor on my 616 is still wired up, as is the original motor start cap. A new motor start cap arrived today, and it will go into my set in place of the original.
Check those chassis mount resistors carefully. There is a 2000 ohm resistor that may be bad; the one in mine is open.
You know how sellers often tell you that the radio was "working" when you buy it? I was told that about mine...but between the open 2K wirewound chassis mount resistor and a burned up 2.7K, 1/2 watt resistor in the Mystery Control circuitry, I seriously doubt that my set has worked in a long time.
