Anyway, I want the radio to work really well. It's a compulsion with me.

Hey that's not weird. My kids in their mid twenties would rather listen to the oldies from the '50s and '60s than the tripe on most radio stations these days. One is even somewhat hung up on big band music of the '30s and '40s. Beyond that, there is something that is just "Right" about driving a vintage car with the music of its era playing through the radio (or something).
I don't have a manual on the radios in '63 Oldsmobiles, but I think they are 100% transistor and not much to go wrong unless it just goes 100% dead from a power transistor failing. If it doesn't sound right it might be the speakers need new cones. There are people who rebuild old speakers. Age, heat, dust, and insects can tend to make a mess out of speaker sound quality.
