A little update on the Philco 600, I left the mica caps alone after reading what Morzh said "I am yet to replace one single mica in my radios." Thanks for the advice.
As you can see in the photo's it's a little cleaner, had to rewind the antenna coil it was chewed up really bad. Recapped and replaced all but 3 of the resistors. I replaced all the tubes except the 6A7, the 77 was missing, 41 had something rattling in the base and the 80 was cracked.
The radio works and seemed to align OK but when tuned to a strong radio station you can't turn up the volume or the radio makes an ungodly noise. The sensitivity control helps but at times you can't back it off far enough. Any ideas as to what might going on? I don't have an external antenna so just using a short piece of wire.
I am also looking for the tuning knob and pointer
