Hi Andre, and welcome!

Generally, no. If the old tubes still work fine, there is no real benefit to replacing them.

Since you already have answers to three of your initial questions (thanks, Codefox! Icon_smile

), here are my thoughts on your other two:

4. The decals are lacquer decals designed to be placed in water to be removed from their backing and placed on the radio. Since they are designed to be used with lacquer finishes, I do not know how they would react to Danish Oil.

5. As far as I know, all AC/DC Philco sets had backs. I would think the 42-321 probably did as well, although I could be wrong. Note that this is NOT true of prewar AC-only sets, which generally did not have a back.
