Forgot to mention: I did scrape all the tube pins with a knife, and also sprayed the contacts of each tube socket with DeoxIT. The volume control was also given a shot of FaderLube.
This radio uses the Philco loctal sockets which have a thin insulator on top of the socket. The 50A5 socket's insulator is bowed up and has obviously been cooked to death. The insulator on one of the small signal tubes is broken. I was hoping that would not be an issue, but we shall see...
