Exclamation Silvertone 6220 parts

I know there is a lot of aftermarket parts dealers for Zenith or Philco even Admiral but what about Silvertone? My 6220 is undergoing surgery next to my Emerson 535. This Silvertone is in bad shape. The chassis was covered in Rust and about everything imaginable so I had a ton of work to do to it. Rust disolver and sanding got it all off but now its shiney in some places and not in others. Wish I could strip the chassis down to nothing and completely sand down to bare steel then hit it with some clear coat on top. Point is, I need a few parts and have no idea where to look. I need the tuning arm, Dial sticker, Dial face, Grille cloth, Dial cord, part number list, a better schematic than what Nostalgia Air has, Speaker, Power cord, and Battery packs. Thats all I can think of for right now. I found the sams for it but not sure if it is the right one. Multiple were listed. I would like both radios done by winter but if I can't find a parts supplier for this Silvertone that ain't happening. I would LOVE to get this Silvertone done a.s.a.p. because my soon to be 82 y/o grandfather gave it to me. I think it would make him happy if I could get it restored to like new condition AND working. Where are some good places ya'll would recommend?
Thanks.


Edit:
Here a link to the picture I currently have of it. If anyone is still wondering about the mid '70s set, I haven't got around to getting any more pictures of it although she is done.

This cap was leaking so badly, When I got it on the bench it looked wet. Rubbed it and a very soft fluid that had the tint of transmission fluid was on it and the adjacent resistors. Should also give you northerners an idea how hot it is here. I had it stored inside a bus and it was out of direct sun. Cap got so hot that it began to melt. And yes, I immedenitly washed my hands after doing that.

First picture and you'll see what I had to get through and where it is now.
