In an earlier post I linked to this thread:-

https://vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=149451

In it I describe how to remove the capacitor box and "restuff" it without the need to disconnect any connections to the radio's coils or mains transformer. I did it that way because I viewed the task of unsoldering and resoldering dozens of wires as too daunting.

You seem determined to "fix up" this radio, but based on what I've read so far I'd say you're out of your depth.

I'm too far away to help you, but if you post in the Repair and Restoration Services Wanted section of the forums you may well find someone in the Manchester area willing to assist you.
