Thanks for the input, everyone. I've got some caps, resistors, and wire on order and I'll start working on electrical restoration shortly. Just for kicks, I measured the caps that I removed and found each one read about 50-60% high. Surprisingly, none of them were shorted - though I haven't applied any voltage to them. I'll soften them and restuff the paper sleeves with the new caps to maintain their original appearance.
As I dig further in for cleaning things up, there isn't much left on the top of my chassis. There two rectangular cans sticking up that have some old rubber wires coming from the bottom.

According to the schematic, they seem to be coils. There seems to be two nuts that hold each can to the chassis. There is a nut on top which I presume holds the contents in the can, but there are also a few holes in the top with screw heads inside the can. What are these recessed screws for? Are the coils adjustable?
Do I have a correct understanding here, or is there something else that I need to know before I remove these for re-wiring? I am just looking to avoid unnecessary surprises.
Thanks,
Eric
