Agree with Exray. And would add Check the resistors in the HV circuits. Those seem to be the one that drift the most. The oscillator feedback or tickler winding on these set has a high rate of failer from corrosion. Not to worry it's an easy fix.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
