Philco G1909S Need info to help with Restoration
#3

If audio goes down you might check your tubes.

As for replacements, the ceramic and mica caps should be left alone, just replace the tubulars.
And obviously the electrolytics.

Check the resistors for the common sense accuracy, 20% tolerance is ok.

Other than that.... that's it.

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.
