Hi,
Rebuilt one some years ago.

1) The ball bearing assembly in the tuning mechanism will likely need to be taken apart, cleaned, and re-greased.

2) Lamp bases will need rebuilding with new phenolic washers.

3) The shadow meter coil is usually open.

4) About a dozen bakelite blocks, 4 miscellanous caps inside a can, and the tone control is a capacitor block that will need rebuilding too.

5) Alignment procedure is lengthy but worth the effort.

More info on all these things is available at philcorepairbench.com and philcoradio.com. If you need a dial scale, Mark Oppat has them at oldradioparts.net.
