Hi experts,

I have a Philco 39-45 that was given to me. The cabinet is in excellent shape but I'd like to get the radio working. 7 of the 9 tubes still have covers on them but I wasn't able to try the thing out because the AC plug had been cut from the power cord. Rather than risk a blowout, I thought I'd have an expert give it a check-up. Is there anyone in the Southern California area who would able to help? I live in Thousand Oaks, in Ventura County. Thanks. (photos attached)

P.S. I ordered a set of push buttons for the front but am still in need of the little red pilot lamp.
