That is a great sounding radio. I think this may have either piezoelectric or electrostatic tweeters? The 6AQ8 in the Fm front ends almost always go bad causing weak or no high band FM (usually above 102mhz)

Some early models also use a bridge rectifier that looks like a filter can! When I first worked on one it took me a minute to realize it was actually a rectifier and not a doubler cap.

Again, really great sound when working properly.
