Never mind, Mike. I was rather ill yesterday and the photo gave me an optical illusion of having a large film cap inside two of the RF coils. This morning, after some sleep, I can see that isn't so. However, the windings around the caps still look like they are either coming loose or have been crudely rewound.
I am well aware of how to rebuild those cap/resistor combinations, having most recently done that work on a model 87 only a few months ago.

In the 87, the resistance wire was not wrapped around the capacitor tubes, but encased inside the tube with the capacitors.
To that point - If the resistance wire is open on any of those three capacitor tubes, the radio will not work.
