Welcome to the Phorum,
You might be wasting your time trying to get it to work before recapping. It only takes one cap shorted from age and the radio might not work. That is why most people consider recapping to be the 1st task in a restoration.
The missing caps might be in those bakelite blocks that are just above the three left-most coils in your picture. The caps you mention are connected to three of the coils in this set, so it is at least a possibility.
