Dead 1959 Silvertone transistor radio repair

I took this dead 1959 Silvertone, model 2202, transistor and brought it back to life after troubleshooting dead and missing transistors, broken circuit traces, bad capacitors and a dead speaker.

This radio was made by Arvin.

I just purchased another one last week, (the green one of the series) and it works. Arvin smartened up and made a bigger battery compartment for this one as it takes a standard 9 volt battery.
