A.K. radios are the worst...at least to restore. I had restored two of them, and not learning my lesson I bought and restored a 112S.
Never again. I spent way too much time replacing the bad wiring. Strange thing is the set played when I bought it, even with a lot of the wiring missing much of it's insulation. You can see some of the insulation missing on the grid wires. Here's the chassis.
