Worth restoring?
#1

I recently bought this Philco Model 620.  I know absolutely nothing about these old radios.  I’m trying to decide if it is worth restoring.  The cabinet is in pretty good shape.  The electronics are very dirty and probably have been stored in a shed or barn somewhere.  I’ve started cleaning out leaves and some of the dust to get some pictures.

I’ve notice people mention 37-620 but I don’t see anything like that anywhere on here.  Only the “Philco Model 620” on the tube diagram inside the cabinet.  No idea what schematic or anything I would need to move forward if this is a viable restor.  I see images of others and they look in a lot better shape than this.
