I resumed Sunday after Kutztown.
Removed the old output transformer, had to drill out the rivets.
Rebuilt both caps yesterday, recapped everything, three resistors had to go.
Opened and cleaned the volume pot.
Today replaced the output xfmr, having riveted it to the speaker.
Connected everything, powered it up.
Works fine, receives stations across the dial.
Need to align obviously.
Need to remove and wash the tuning cap, very dirty.
Then the alignment.
Then gluing the dial cover, cleaning the cabinet, maybe learning how to polish it a bit, assemble the radio.
Done for today.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
