Well, the tubes I needed have come in, and tonight I tested the set and did an alignment. It was very close as is. On the bench, with just its loop antenna it picks up lots of stations on my bench, not the best place in the house for reception, it picks them up on both the broadcast and short wave bands. The new electrolytics are working out fine under the chassis, no hum, and the set sounds good. I do need to clean the volume pot though. It's scratchier than a dog with fleas. If we get a warm day soon, I'll strip the cabinet, and get started on redoing that. Once that is done, the chassis goes back in, and the radio will be done and join my collection.
