>Also it seems my shadow meter doesn't work, as the vane inside the shadow meter wasn't responding to the stations that were coming in on the radio.
Trace the two wires back to where they connect under the chassis. Some sets will have a resistor in parallel w/the coil connected there. Unsolder one of the wires and then measure the resistance across them. Should see somewhere between 500 and 1200 ohms. If open it will need a rewind.
It's a waste of time to try make this thing work without servicing at least the caps. And you run the risk of damaging other parts.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
