I'm starting a refurbishing of this late 89 (has 6 tubes--80,75,42,two 44s, and 36---and 4 knobs; one for on/off/ police band) for a friend. Any tips -- beside obvious recapping/resistors, etc? He says it "makes noise and he got one station on it--no antenna/ground hookup I'm sure. Probably a good sign!

Solid cabinet but finish looks original. Think it has an original cloth covered power cord but has "been into" because some capacitors have been replaced. But several dog bone resistors are still in place. Complete with a lovely dust accumulation and dreaded bakelite blocks too.

Is this a photo-finish on the front?
