Welcome!
Even though the wiring according to you looks to be in good shape, these Philcos have rubber insulation that becomes brittle over the years, especially depending on its color.
Even if it does not look crumbled I would check upon it and if it starts cracking upon touching it, you need to replace it, or some of it. My observation, white/yellowish rubber stays pliable, black, green, red crumbles.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
