Hello all. I have a Philco Type 60 radio. It was my grandparents so I would like to keep it. The power cord looks original and has fraying. When plugged in it does power up and the dial lights but that's it. No sound comes from the speaker. After it was plugged in it started to get a burning smell so I unplugged it. I don't have much money. Is there a ball park range of what it would take to get this working? I realize this is a broad range but if anyone can help. Also, any idea on value as is? The cabinet is excellent with a tiny flaw in the veneer on one side. Thanks.
