Oh it's not too scary! On lot of the early Philcos the primary of the of the anttena coil and the feedback winding of the oscillator coil go open. The small cotton covered wire rots and you will see green spot in the winding. You can check it with an ohm meter all should measure a very low resistance like a few ohms. If not it's time to rewind!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
