46-1209
#7

If by metal cans you mean the electrolytic capacitors, then no, you should not use old electrolytics from another radio that will be just as bad as the ones in the set you are working on. Use new electrolytics.

But if you refer to other components such as IF transformers, then again, the answer is no as the old ones are usually OK. In fact IF transformers in old radios generally made before 1950 seldom go bad. Yes, they do go bad on occasion, but fortunately, a bad one is the exception rather than the rule.

The later IF cans in 3/4" square containers are a problem all their own, however. But these are not applicable to the 46-1209, so I shall not go into a discussion of them here.
