Philco radio help

Some things I have found on these models is brittle wiring...you may need to replace wires or encase old wires in heat shrink tubing if they can't be safely removed. Also there is a line filter capacitor that connects to both terminals of the power line and mounts to the chassis....I disconnect this to remove a short or shock hazard.
We had a similar but earlier model in for repair...replaced all caps, repaired wiring where needed, installed new power cord, switch, and fuse and it worked great.
