Hi Ed, my name is Doug and I live on Long Island too. The first thing you will want to do is replace those electrolytic caps for safety and all the rest of the caps for reliability and functionality. I am not sure but I think those are wet caps that are leaking, you can replace those with modern electrolytics that are a fraction of the size, mounting them either under the chassis or inside the old cans after gutting them.
You might want to drop by Speaker Specialists just east of the seaford oysterbay expressway (135) on Sunrise highway in Seaford. There is a radio swap meet/radio show that takes place there the first Sunday of every month. It usually runs til about 12 noon. There are a few old timers there you can maybe get some advice from.
If you PM me I can give you a couple of places where you can order parts from (caps, tubes, etc.) . As for the missing reprducer, try the want ads on this forum. The schematic for your radio is here: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/235/M0013235.htm
Good luck and have fun with it!

Doug
