If it hasn't already been done, all the wax caps in it should be replaced. See
http://www.geocities.com/wa2ise/radios/repair.htm and
http://www.antiqueradio.org/recap.htm though I would not try to remove all of teh old caps' leads from terminals on band switches or tube sockets. They are rather fragile and you don't really want to break a band switch. Just clip the old
lead and solder on the new. Practice on a junker tube radio first if you haven't done this before.
