Yes, don't work on any of these sets until you have read some good books and know about the dangers that can be lurking within. If you don't have much electronics experience, I would strongly suggest putting this radio away and learning some basic electronics along with learning to solder and using a multimeter. There are a lot of great older books that cover tube radio circuits. Don't be in a hurry to start on an old radio. Wait until you get a little more knowledge, then you will have more fun and be safer. Good luck!
