Editha, welcome to the Phorum and people here can help you getting that nice looking radio up and running. It is not rocket science. Do not keep trying to get the radio to play. Don't plug it in. Your symptoms are common to all older radios, electrolytic capacitors. With the schematic we can advise you what you need, they are cheap. Probably less than 6 bucks for all required. Tubes are seldom a problem but your radio is probably an AC/DC radio. This pretty much means don't touch the chassis or any metal part while plugged in. NASTY experience. Are you familiar with soldering and have an iron and solder?
Give us a little background on what you have for experience with radios if you please. Gives us a base line to guide your new experience.

Regards, Jerry

OK, for those that wish to help, here is a link to the schematic for the radio. Perhaps suggestions for a list of caps that may be needed?
