Old Radio Restoration

I have been working on and off for about five years on my grandfather's 1920-1930 something Philco tube radio.  The chassis is a Philco Model 620.  I have complete schematics, new grill cloth, new dial and various other pieces.  Now I need to get to work putting the chassis back together with new components.  I am planning on restoring the original radio circuit, but I am going to use all new passive components.  I will re-use some of the tubes, but I think a few are dead.

Here are some links that I found to be very helpful for gathering info for old Philco radios:
