I have been able to get back to this radio a little bit today. I have recapped the chassis and replaced the burned out resistor. Even though it is recapped, there is still a little bit of background hum. There is no reception though. I suspect the antenna coil that is mounted to the speaker is bad. Some of the wax is cracked and I found one broken wire which I fixed but no go. I have two of these sets so I guess I will be making one good one out of the two.
