Hello! My First Post - Philco 40 180
#2

You are indeed lucky that the set is playing well. You will need to change out all the electric and wax capacitors for a start, and then check out all the resistors in the set to see if they are still OK. Most if them will read high out of circuit, and you really need to change them if they're more than 15% out of whack. The tubes are innocent until proved guilty. Looks lilke you have a winner.
