Also enjoyed a nice 2,000 mile road trip that included the Carolina and Virginia autumn vistas.

Congrats. Hope you keep us informed of the restoration progress.
These are fun sets to work on. I finished someone's half done resto on my CT-100 and did a full restuff of the caps in my 21CT55 ( CT-100 chassis with factory sweep mods to drive a 21AXP22 CRT) granted most were bakelitized cardboard so I got similar wax caps and restuffed those. I did the 21 a few months before the CT-100 and was so sick of restuffing that I didn't even try to hide the yellow caps the last owners put in it (just cleaned up all the J-hooks on J-hooks, and bad peaking coils/odd mix of replacements).
On these sets if the IF acts like it needs an alignment you can often avoid doing it by going over the IF resistors for off tolerance parts with a fine tooth comb then adjusting the channel osc slugs in the tuner. IIRC I had to make my own adjustment tool for it out of mechanical pencil bits...good times.
