I hate to tell you but if you don't replace the old wax and paper capacitors your "saving it from the scrapyard" will be short lived. Those capacitors are very, very old and will go out at any time, then you will either have more problems than just a few capacitors to replace or even a fire. You really should replace those if you actually want to be able to say you refurbished this radio. Might as well do it while your working on it anyway, or it probably wont get done. Also, I wouldn't play the record player with the wrong records or might wear out that needle very fast and find you need another soon. Needles are very fragile, don't let it slide across the record, etc.
