Thanks DeckApe! I've noticed that the color codes on the vintage resistors partially match new replacement resistors, but the new ones seem to have an extra color stripe in the code. On others, the colors are completely different, though they measure the same...
It's coming closer. Have one more IF assembly, a few wires, and a few resistors to replace then I can add all of the caps back. I'm getting anxious to fire it up and see what it sounds like!
