Considering that the majority of the wax capacitors on the main deck were seriously leaky, (not caused by the washing of the chassis incidentally) there will also be many in the receiver deck as well.
There is 25 decouplers between 1 & 3nf and other wax caps that will no doubt be leaky too so a full and careful recap could further its performance. These must have been very good sets in their time.
No doubt in really weak signal areas they would have performed well and even later on a 30L15 would improve sensitivity over the PCC84. Next work will be done on Monday all being well.
