The radio might be in working condition for all I care.
All tubes including the ballast 50A1 are good.

The axial electrolytic caps from 1956 might still work and the Bumblebee caps might be ok enough to work. This said, I will replace them. Probably won't even bother restuffing: the lytics are too narrow and Bumblebees are not easily drilled out.

The selenium rectifier looks almost new. Might be good. I will check it though I know the common practice is to replace it with a diode like 1N4007 and a resistor.

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.
