I have a philco 41-280. I'm getting a parts list together and I have a few questions about tubes, caps, and wire.

Tubes: Is there a certain brand that is recommended?
Should I buy new or used?

Caps: Brand preference?

Wire: Brand preference?
Gauge of wire?
Is there a extra type of shielding that y'all apply to the wires?

What are the metal towers on the top of the chassis and do they need to be replaced?
