A set that old should have all the wax capacitors replaced. The fact that you get noise and snow means that the major components of the set are still working, but a wax cap that is leaky ( usually every last one is today) may mis bias a tube and draw excessive current thru something else damageing it if the set is run for very long.

A dirty tuner could kill reception.
