Got the radio working!!
I have to record the tuner now though, just wheeling it by hand for the moment. It's funny...the guy my dad got it from said 'It works, all it need is a new cord..." yea, right...there was more than few disconnections and bad solder joints, not to mention the whole tuner cord assembly is gone...I'm salvaging some parts from a philco console to get this together.
So far I replaced all the capacitors, put a new line cord, installed a fuse, and cleaned the potentiometers. Most resistors are still good. Alignment looks to be pita if i have to do that, but i think i have all the equipment necessary for it...
