Sweet lookin Philco! I like the front design!
As mentioned earlier, these are generally pretty easy to get working again. I worked on a Philco similar to yours (but without the pushbuttons) for a guy this past year and it came out great!
New capacitors will likely bring back it's performance. Cost of new caps might be between 10 to 20 dollars depending on what it uses. Like Sandy said... it might need a tube or two. Most of them are reasonably priced, but some do get expensive. Hopefully your set uses more common tubes.
Was noticing you're in Texas... where at? There are several of us spread out here... Corpus, Austin, Dallas, the West... and I'm near Beaumont. Perhaps one of us could give you a hand.
