Nice work! Somewhere, I think I have the rustbucket version of that same radio. I think I gave $2 for it at a junk store and that was mainly for the tubes. I did get everything on the chassis working, except for an open antenna coil (same problem as yours). One day, I'll dig mine back out and try and solve the antenna coil problem. After that, I'll sand down the cabinet and re-paint it.
I've also seen open oscillator coils and open IF transformers in these radios. Back then; these were cheap radios that used cheaper parts and some of these parts didn't hold up so well. This is especially true if the radio was not stored in decent conditions.
