Philco 38-12 radio

[timmy]

Well just picked this radio up and seems to be common one and chanced turning it on using an inverter and it's got the typical buzzing that am radios have but it didn't pickup any stations but I'm going to recap it. I'll have to chance this after recapping because I have no clue if the tubes are good or not since these tubes are so early I gave away my tube tester that would have tested these now I have none to test them with. If anyone knows these radios , is there any known problems with these radios that need special attention.
