Your set schematic here:

Should be a very nice performer indeed. Nice work done so far, very nice.

Agreed, if coils ohm out OK, they're probably fine, and I wouldn't touch 'em Jury is still out on whether dipping them in wax was such a good idea in the first place. You shouldn't need to remove anything to do this, but if the schematic says so regardless of switch settings which are easily done, remove connection NOT on the coil so as not to disturb it.

Getting dial glass off, well I don't recall, but there seems to be a spring clip and there may be some dried out felt or rubber stuff between glass and holding bracket and/or between the inside bracket and chassis which may have by now turned into practically insoluble glue. If you don't absolutely have to remove it, don't. Someone more familiar with this set may have been there before. You do not want to break this glass.
