Your voltage is probably OK as you have the rectifier out and no load on the transformer. Should drop some when the rectifier is finally working and feeding B+.
For dial cord you can use woven fishing line, readily available everywhere. If you have any missing cord tension springs, you can get a plastic box of assorted small springs from a home center like Lowe's.
Somebody has been in there before you so you want to check it out carefully. When I recap a larger set like this, I like to print out a copy of the schematic, and then trace every wire in the set one by one and mark it off with a highlighter as I go, replacing caps. When the schematic is completely highlighted, you're done. It's too easy to get lost and keep going back over the same ground without a "road map."
Tom is right on that 6X5. Belt and suspenders: I'd put both a line fuse and one in the cathode circuit of the 6X5 so if it shorts it won't take your transformer with it.
Good luck with it,
Reece
