I jumped the gun a bit and should've just went ahead and replace the two .02 caps and the resistor bank. That revealed an open 1 meg resistor, a bad solder joint at the non-grounded .02, and some bad solder joints around the speaker plug. Happy to report she is singing tonight and actually sounding pretty good for an 89 year old radio. Voltages are there where they should be now. What a strange power transformer, though. Just by moving the fuse between terminals 84 to 85 or 85 to 86 you can go from 110 volts to 125!
