I'm making slow but sure progress, mostly waiting for the capacitor and resistor assortments I bought on ebay to arrive. I rebuilt a couple of the easiest capacitors and now I've pulled out part #8 bakelite capacitor of .05mfd , which the parts list notes as also containing a 250ohm resistor. I haven't cleaned the old tarry gunk out yet. Is there really a resistor inside here? I'm assuming a regular old 1 watt metal film resistor is fine?
EDIT: Yep, I found it. Heating up the bakelite block with a heat gun and pushing through a rivet hold with an old 1/16 drill bit got it out nice and easy. I kind of messed up and now trying to figure out what the other end of the resistor attached to...
