Well, finally finished the bakelite caps and time to fire it up again. I think I have a handle on the resistor values now, not that I understand the color scheme. Fired it up and well, still works, perhaps a little better. Still need to go through the resistors. Sound is garbled. I know the 45s are really weak, measuring 8 and 10 on my precision. Need to get through the resistors next and see if that perks up the radio a little. Pics from the underside where I have tried to identify and mark the various resistors.

Edit: I thought I would add a note. Changed my approach slightly to resuffing the bakelite caps. Still used the small drill in hand drill and half a turn to snap off the wires on top while the pot is still mounted to the chassis. Then the heat gun carefully around the top and sides for maybe 45 seconds. Then the paperclip opened up and pushed through the holes. Yup, I could feel and see the tar and parts push down to the chassis. Remove the attaching bolt and lift up the block. Remove the tar mass typically as one piece. Restuff, turn back over and remount. Then solder the wires from the components back from the top. Found it easier to heat while the block was still mounted. Before I would lift it up first and heat but then you had to grab it with a towel or something to hold and push. Easier to do with it mounted and release it with a paper clip wire. Let it cool a little. Remove the bolt and take out the insides. Did all on this radio and never removed any attaching wires. Love it!
