Progress report:
It's alive - sort of.

After finding four weak, gassy and/or marginal tubes and replacing them, it is playing very well on band 2 (SW 1 - 2.3 to 7 mc). Notice also that in a normally illuminated room, that band 2 is illuminated fairly well with the 14V incandescent lamp which I will leave in place.
On the 31M band, it is picking up a little bit up to 9.5 mc where it sounds like the oscillator drops out.
Nothing on the AM band, as it appears the oscillator is dead on AM.
I'm currently using a test speaker. I had forgotten that the cone on the original speaker is shot:
