Can you take a pic of the area where you've removed the wires from the bakelite block? There should be several in that radio, and it would be helpful to know which one you're dealing with.
Lead dress in these radios is not critical, except to some extent in the RF/IF sections. The higher the frequency, the more critical it would be.
There are several low power AM transmitters available, but none are particularly 'cheap' (depending of course on your definition of the word). Cheapest you'd likely run into would be a Talking House transmitter. These are on ebay quite often, and you can get lucky and get one for under $50 if you keep an eye out.
