If all goes well, I'll put a new dial in it. I am taking this radio in phases to see if there is a show stopper I might not want to tackle, but I think it is restorable with my skills. I carefully examined all exposed coils with bright light and magnifying glass to see if any NC disease, they look great and all ohm out good. I removed the last covered detector to see its shape and it looked perfect also, I will re wire if I have to.
About cleaning the cap, do you clean the micas as well? There's black hardened buildup on the shaft which I tried to get off, maybe the soak will with careful brushing. I have some good neoprene grommets that will suspend this cap tightly. I will rewire the entire cap, those are gone also.
