You'll need more than one part for that radio, I guarantee. If it is all original then at a minimum it needs to have all of the capacitors replaced along with any out of tolerance resistors. There is a lot of information on this site that can help you out. I'd also recommend reading through this site:

http://antiqueradio.org/welcome.htm

If you aren't sure about what you are doing ask questions. If you really aren't sure about what you are doing then stop where you are and find someone who does. Antique radios can be VERY dangerous unless you have some idea about what is going on inside of one.

I hope this helps! Who knows, you may catch the restoration bug and end up as crazy as the rest of us Icon_thumbup Icon_biggrin
