I've made good progress. The capacitor block is rebuilt and ready to re-install. I stripped the cabinet today, revealing very nice wood grain on the front, and a water mark on the top, probably from a houseplant. I'll use wood bleach, and stain the top and sides to obtain an even color. The Marconiphone 276 schematic is the closest I have found to this model.

The rebuilt capacitor block. I cut away unneeded parts of the can. I noticed that one corner of the can had shorted to a wire going to the rectifier tube. That edge is now gone, and I've patched that wire.

I am grateful that the water damage on the top is not bad.

The original grille cloth is made with red, olive green and gold yarn or thread.

I saved the best for last in this post. Look at that beautiful veneer on the front which was hidden under the darkened and deteriorated old finish.
