I finally had a little time to work on this radio. The speaker cleaned up easily with a soft brush.

The recapping is proceeding without any surprises. I measured a few of the old paper caps for the heck of it and all very very leaky at their rated voltage. Also found a few out of spec resistors like this discolored 220 that measured around 500.
