In spite of the tubes being very weak, The radio performs quite well. There is a dearth of adjustments for the 4 frequency bands, so only the BC band is close in dial tracking. I'll do more investigation to see if it is possible to get the other bands closer on the dial. This radio uses an IF of 472.5 khz. The "sealed" AK adjustments were very close. I'd much rather deal with the caps in a Philco than the caps in this radio. There are other areas, such as the power transformer, that are much easier to deal with on the AK. Nice looking radio. I hope I can do the refinish justice.
