Philco 48-482 question

I was given a Philco 48-482 table radio recently. I typically don't restore tube radios, but given that this set has 3 IF stages for both AM and FM and a 7F8 dual-triode oscillator/mixer, it should be an extremely hot performer on the AM band. Can anyone confirm this?

Also, is the FM-1000 demod circuit a pain in the ass to align? When fully aligned, is the Philco a hot FM performer?

I ask because when I'm in the states, I'm in a pretty difficult location for adequate reception of the FM stations I'm interested in. No sense in restoring yet another tube radio/tuner that doesn't pull anything in that I care about...
