I'll mention in passing that if you are into the aesthetics when you have it apart you can flip the two end tuning caps around. Then the top will be on the bottom. Most of the time it's not as rusty.
That's great that your audio transformers are good. I think my favorite of the AK battery sets is the model 33/48. Great performer and and the little knob on the left adds a good bit of selectivity.
Computer p/s may not be a good choice for a power source. Most use high speed switch circuits that generate rf noise. Good ole 60cy power transformers or batteries would be a much cleaning choice.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
