I finished with the recap and installed a new line cord with 2amp slo blo fuse.

I also pulled and tested all the tubes. They're all Philco branded and very likely the originals.

They tested fair to good except for the 50L6 output tube which has an intermittent short. It was replaced

That left reconnecting the loop antenna.

Eventually, I got that sorted out an powered it up. It works! Works a little too well actually. Great reception but even with the volume turned all the way down it's pretty loud. As I type this I realize I left a tube shield off the 7C6 converter. I doubt that's the source of the trouble though.
