Where to begin???
#2

Read here.

Books are always great but in the case of a Philco 60 you can presume that all the caps should be replaced. No point in checking them. You can go thru them later after the radio is working to learn about the typical faults. The book won't address it like that Icon_smile That will get you 90% of the way towards restoring it. If it doesn't work after that then its time to go to the book or come here to sort out specific problems.

Dive in. The water is fine!
