These are fairly easy to restore, if you've done tube radios before. I did one such set, and it still hummed-until I replaced the Selenium rectifier.

Also, that set uses a very expensive tube-the 1L6. While the rest of the tubes in your set sell for about $3-$5 each, the 1L6 sells for about $35. Maybe more, now, since I haven't checked in awhile. Use a 1R5 (if you have one) in place of the 1L6 until you you get it working properly.

These are good performing radios when completed. I use one for a bedside radio.
