IIRC, with some sets like this, there's a coupling cap that must be replaced. If you don't, you end up ruining some fancy filters that are made of unobtanium. People tended to fire up such a radio, hear nothing, and switch bands (thus blowing out that band's filters just like the first band's were blown up upon turning it on, and so on...)
