Wow Ron, I’m going cross eyed looking at that cramped chassis! My neighbor found one of those tiny Philco Transitone radios in his attic, he said it was his grandfather’s and wanted to know if I would repair it for him. After looking at it I passed. Missing antenna, destroyed speaker and a crushed IF can  Icon_crazy, no idea how that happens. Plus gobs of crumbling wire, I told him it was time to let it be. I noticed in your ‘after’ under chassis shot that the audio output transformer is missing. Good luck on your project, I know you will do your magic on it!
