I have had a Philco Model 38-4 for 33 years. It used to work fine but hasn't in some years now. I've finally decided to fix and restore it but I am a complete novice. Specifically I'm concerned with the finish which is generally okay except for some bleached areas as in the attached photo. Can someone recommend how I might go about fixing these spots and generally restoring the original finish?

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
