I would just heat the wax on that coil up with a heat gun or a hair dryer, it should melt and fill in the crack. It doesn't look to me like the paper caps were restuffed, I've restuffed old caps before and the wax coating on those looks old, dirty, and untouched, along with the leads. I don't understand the excuse for not overhauling this set myself, you could replace every capacitor and resistor on that chassis and it wouldn't cost $10 in parts.
Regards
Arran
