Jayce, I did notice the shields missing, I think your friend is correct in that in the past people wanted to go to the cheaper and more available metal tubes. My friend is missing a couple bases off the magnetic tuner 6J5? tubes on the rear. You are also missing some parts from the tuner speed dial. There is a mute washer with tab that if flopping around in there can cause an instant muting of the radio. If it is flopping around, just lift it up and out so it doesn't cause problems in trouble shooting. Looks like you will need some parts for the tuner front.
