Well I'm making good progress.

All the bakelite blocks have been recapped.  I found that using a heat gun and skinny screwdriver allowed me to push everything out easily.  Same goes with the condenser cans but removing the block and replacing the caps in the tone control took a bit of trial and error.

So now I have a working audio section and have started working back through the IF and RF sections.

Is there a way to disassemble, without breaking, the volume control to clean it out?  It's pretty scratchy.
