Well, I tried. I replaced all caps and resistors. Rewound the OSC tickler (cathode), cleaned the tuner new bushings. I did the alignment according to J. Rider book. Had a hard time with it lots of noise and whistling. Tuning the low freq. was the worst. What I ended up with two stations 1200kHz and above. Lower was all squealing, thumping and motorboating. Ron's thread about the Philco 89 from h**l described it well, mine was just like that.
I just don't have the wire and the expertise to rewind the OSC coil. I am contemplating what to do. I read several threads on this radio all the problems tend to be the coils. I saw that you should bake them to drive out the moisture.
