Change those paper capacitors. They are a bomb waiting to explode. Even if they work now, they will fail sooner or later (probably sooner). I've seen cases where a paper cap would short and take the power transformer with it. Most of these old radios were not fused and any short on the B+ line can cause serious damage. Better to spend a few bucks now than big bucks in the future.
