Congrats on your fine purchase! Unplug it !!, dont take any chances until new filter caps have been installed!! Playing "russian-roulette" with a vintage original Philco power transformer in that radio could win you the 2008 "duh- award" real fast!! No disrespect intended! That would be a real shame since new filter-caps are easily replaced. A good ol 1 amp fuse inline on one side of the ac cord is also highly recommended. Enjoy your new Philco!!!
