I have acquired a Philco 41-300, the chassis label is incomplete what is there reads K4791. The case is in OK shape and is not the priority. The priority is getting it working. I have extensive experience building modern electronics, but have never tackled anything with tubes before. I have all the tools necessary to work on integrated circuits, and other electronic testing equipment including an oscilloscope, power supply and tone generator. What other specialized tools do I need? I know components need to be replaced, where do I start there? What pitfalls should I avoid.

As you can see from the pictures it is complete, but needs replacement buttons and dial plate. The electrical cord is completely dried out as is to be expected. I have not applied power to it nor do I intend until the components that typically need replacement are replaced.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have not even started to take it apart.
