Hi, you may find that when you recap the set (paper types only) reception will improve a lot.
This can be due to the caps on the AVC line being leaky and as they are in a high impedance circuit (1 meg plus feed resistors), they will make the set insensitive.

Good luck with the rest of the restoration
