Is that 39-25 a slant front table model? If so I have one of those and will take a look at the buttons. I prefer not to even run them until the paper foil capacitors are replaced. It's only a few bucks and the radio will most likely spring to life. The B+ may be low due to leaking electrolytics in the PS, and if they fail it's bye bye power tranny or rectifier tube. The paper foils in the rest of the radio can lose a lot of your signal too. I would recap before bothering to attempt alignment.

Nostalgia Air should have the schematic and hopefully alignment info, or the Philco Repair Bench site.

On your floor model, you may want to peek in the photo archives at Radio Attic for an ID.
