Begginer w/ a Philco model 630
#1

I just purchased a Philco model 630, looks like a 630x from the pictures. I have never tried to restore an antique radio before and would really like some tips and pointers on the inner workings. I believe I have identified the two capacitors and am looking into getting some new ones at a local electronics shop if not by mail order. I have also located where I will need to attach a new plug as the current one is frayed. The previous owner said when he slowly increased the voltage in powering it up he heard a crackle and a hum which lead him to believe the speaker is still in operating condition. Is there anything I should know about this particular model? Any and all help is greatly appreciated as have no idea what I have gotten myself into.
