I re-capped this Philco 40-150 code 121 and replaced resistors that were questionable. I also replaced some rubber insulated wires that were dried and cracked. I powered up the radio with my variac and it works okay. The speaker was rattling so bad I sent it out for re-cone. I'd like to do some more power on testing but I don't have the speaker. Is it okay to power this set up without the speaker attached? I've always thought that was a no-no.
