I agree with Randy about those Bakelite-block capacitors. I own a chair-side that uses pretty much the same chassis, from the estate of a founding member of the local antique radio club, no less. I ended up selling my 116X before I ever got around to un-stuffing those blocks. I suspect the restorer may charge a bit (a lot?) more to re-stuff those, he may suggest cutting the wires that come through the rivets and install the replacements on the terminals alongside the existing wiring. He may also opt to just install plain terminal strips instead.
The canned electrolytics may also pose this problem. You will have to choose between re-stuffing the cans or adding a few terminals and hanging modern tubulars wherever good practice allows when a multi-section is encountered. Single-section cans are easy, once you get the old innards out...
