I have a 1937 model 610 Philco tombstone, the same radio just a year later. Definitely change the electrolytic caps. They are the old wet cell type and will not be working by now. I left the cans in for appearance sake and wired new ones beneath the chassis. Also, replace those two bakelite blocks under the chassis. The contain paper caps.
I have had my restored set in daily service for two years now with no problems. This set is well suited to daily use and the tone quality and sensitivity is excellent. This is a great performer on shortwave and the dial is remarkably accurate.
