Les:

Yes! I would absolutely recommend that you follow Robert's suggestion. 

As he points out, it will be far less expensive and would show far better 
results than attempting to restore the derelict you have there now.

As has been pointed out, other than the tuned circuits, the circuitry is 
identical between the BC-453 and the BC-946

You would also have to transplate the dial, but that is only held to the 
receiver by one large nut, and is easily loosened.
