"Anything I need to know about this radio in regards to fixing it up?" Yes, DON'T ! Looking at what little of the line cord I can see in the pictures that ALONE poses a fire as well as an electrocution hazard. Beyond that, with any radio of that age, it will need a thorough going through before you "fire it up." You will need to replace all the paper and electrolytic condensers. In Philco radios of that vintage, the wire is rubber insulated, and by now will have deteriorated into either dry, hard, cracking insulation quickly turning to powder, or into a kind of sticky goo, depending under what conditions it was stored. All the wiring will also need to be replaced. Welcome to the world of antique radio collecting and restoration. You will find a lot of folks here with knowledge who will help you with your restoration of this set. It will take some work, but it will be well worth it in the end.
