Lots of good information. Thanks, guys. I'm just about to the limit of what I can clean without fully removing things.
Looking forward to the weekend to spend some time on it. It sounds like my best bet should be to walk through the schematic and find the actual components in the radio. Make a list of electrolytic or paper tubular capacitors to order replacements. It sounds like some some of you try to stuff the old components where possible to keep the original look. I like that idea.
I noticed several of the metal "cans" on top have a couple of screws plus three or four spring clips that push through the chassis. Is there an easy way to remove those? Not sure if they will need to come off, but I tried to remove one for cleaning and I couldn't get clips to push through one at a time.
