Model 39-40
#5

GoJo hand cleaner works wonders on filthy cabinets. Make sure that you use the NON abrasive kind.

Recommend you replace all of the electrolytic and wax paper capacitors and any out of tolerance resistors. Have fun with the brittle rubber insulation on the wires. Test all of your tubes, it saves a lot of headaches.

Ebay has several acceptable varieties of grillecloth for sale.

Would not recommend any adjustments until you have done the above repairs/checks.

Your set sounds like it has a lot of potential. Good luck and do post some photos.
