I've finished recapping and recarbing. Under the chassis, things now look like this:

You may recall that I had mentioned earlier that I needed to pass a wire through a rivet hole for the 1st audio (6R7G) tube. With many thanks to Ed Locker for the idea, I used a 3/16" aluminum pop rivet to attach the tube shield base and tube socket to the chassis. I then used a nail to drive the aluminum nail out of one of the pop rivets. A new cloth-covered wire then fit through the rivet perfectly.
