Welcome to the Phorum!
Icon_wave

Read through the info that KCMike pointed you to. Here is a link to a schematic for your set: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...013517.pdf

Here's a link with info on why you should not plug your set in yet: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=14958

Your 1942 set probably has some rubber insulated wire in it that will need to be replaced or fixed. Here is a link to info on how to go about this: http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showth...?tid=14959

Here's a list of resources for parts: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=14950

If you do not have any knowledge of electronics the restoration may take awhile with lots of questions but if you take your time and learn along the way you can do it.
Cheers,
Bob
