Just realized the tone control packet switch (the one on top) is broken. A cap came off of one of the tubes, and one was marked as "bad" by someone. I'm sure few more tubes are probably bad.
The gasket for inside the glass disintegrated, but a weatherstripping will probably do.
The lithium grease spray unlocked the tuning mechanism, no wonder thy call it a liquid wrench.
Installed the transformer onto the speaker and stuffed the cap - it looks nice and has whopping 11 Chinese microfarads inside it, rated at 700V.
Now, the radio can work without tone control, but at some point I will need to fix it.
