I recently got a 1942 philco console radio phonograph and it works but one of the tubes gets boiling hot and I'm afraid to use it any more. The capacitors inside look poor but they aren't leaking . Would it be a good idea to replace some of the capacitors feeding this socket or others also .---I just realized that the rectifier tube wasnt even in the unit but it still worked is this possible ?
