You have a nice set here, so why not do a proper restoration. Replace all the remaining resistors and capacitors and rotted wires, then do a proper alignment. Can't be more than $20 worth of parts still wanting. Beware modern stuff like wall warts, dimmers, computers, etc... can screw up AM/SW reception. Just weren't around when these old sets were made.
