Need Help Reading Components, 1931 Airline 62-181

[Winky Dink]

After an initial cleanup I'm ready to gather the usual replacement components, but I can't even identify my capacitor values. The only vintage electronics I have any familiarity with is 1950s TV.

The only documentation I have is a Rider schematic with a few notes (Vol 2 Montgomery Ward 2-2) which I've downloaded from three sources, and the best is only partly legible. So I'm trying to interpolate from what I can read on the schematic and the components.

Just for starters, I have three illustrated questions:
Figure 1: I have three resistors like the violet one in the photo--a single body color and no other markings. The two are gray and white. What the value of the single-color resistors?

And how do you read these mica capacitors? On the stack of three in the picture, one has a spot white and a smear of orange. The others have a dash of green on one side.

Figure 2: I assume these are paper caps, but the only marking is a single spot of color. Can the part number hold a secret clue?

Figure 3: I can only guess what's in the box. Is this like a huge multi-capacitor can? Other than the label which I read as "total capacitance 6.02 M.F.," there nothing else written on the outside of the box. Should I just remove the bottom to see what's inside?

If you can help me out with these questions, I promise I'll leave you alone...for a day or two.
