New here 46-1203
#2

Dolly,

Welcome!

Radios are a bit different from Singers, so plugging an antique radio in a strip not a very good idea.
You got lucky, it did not go up in smoke.
Now that we are past it, you should turn yourself to where it is described how to recap radios (change old capacitors for new ones), and then comes the rest - checking resistors, tubes etc. Oh, and yes, changing cords if they are rigid or cracked.

Philco Electronic Restoration is the chapter here where you could open your own thread and you will get tons of good advice.

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.
