Unlike the OP, I am restoring one of these myself (more photos in the "It's Raining Philcos" thread).
I'm restoring this unit for a female friend of mine at my cost for parts. Both the cabinet and the receiver are in great shape. The completely rotted out power cord is the only visibly bad part, and that will be replaced later today. Should I dare plugging it in without a Variac after I replace the cord? My friend says it worked last time she plugged it in.
