No worries there, it was practically unmolested (power cord changed) when i got it. All it did was hum as usual for its age. Fortunately, i had leftover new caps from the philco 16b i did prior (over ordered some).. Did them one at a time and was careful.

The only things i did off the normal, was snatch 2 line safety caps out of a directv DVR i was gutting for parts and put in a stronger 6A7 tube.. Worked great when i fired it up, just noticed SW had a squeal in part of the scale and the volume doesnt completely go silent before the switch clicks off.. Of course the SW issue clears up when i use the marginal 6A7.. Unless my tube tester isnt seeing an error in the NOS 6A7, then im presuming the radio cant handle the extra flow from a strong tube. Or i have a naughty drifted resistor fouling up the works..
