That's a 1941 Philco. I've done dozens of those. If you want a quick and dirty, here it is:

1. Test all the tubes, replace the ones that are bad.
2. Replace all of the capacitors, probably a total of 8 or 10 of them, including the electrolytics. Just read the numbers off the cans and purchase equivalents.
3. Make sure the AC cord is in good shape
4. Spray the volume pot and switches up with some tuner cleaner

5. Plug it in and fire it up, enjoy the tunes that will most likely come forth
