thanks for the info guys,this radio is most often described as 1948/1949 model...and tho that could be wrong,it certainly looks the part with art deco-ish 40's styling...
the filter caps if original are no-brainer replacement candidates being 55-60 years old..even if they are ok now i wouldn't expect them to hold up long under regular use...likewise the set uses several paper caps,and a selenium rectifier...these will be replaced for the same reasons...i realize that they might all happily function for years more, but all fall into the "when,not if" category for me...and it should be easy enough to replace them,eliminating the worry..
the tubes,if the description is accurate may be ok,it's described as working quite well as is...i don't own a tube tester but do know someone who does and who can likely source any replacements from what he has on hand if any are needed.
i expect the radio to arrive about mid week,i'll be able to post some pics and might have some more questions then...
