Success! So far at least. All capacitors have been replaced and I've successfully powered up the radio. Used a variac initially but didn't have any issues. Other than the volume control and tuner (which are obvious) I'm not sure what the positions on the other knobs are. I do know that I get a terrible squealing tone for most settings. I think that might be due to the fact that I don't have the tube shields on. I left them off in case I needed to remove and test.
Some of the wires that connect to the top of tubes have cracked and exposed the conductor. I'm going to search for something to coat them with instead of replacing the wires completely.
@morzh What's the mod to add an aux input to the radio? That might be something I'm interested in.
