I have one of these receivers that I have restored and have been using for e few years now. They work great and are well worth the effort to bring back. You will want to replace ALL paper caps and electrolytics. This is a good transformer powered set so you don't want any parasitic loads. I have a schematic for this radio and if you need any information, please let me know.

I will start you off right by giving you the schematic.

On mine, I restrung the dials, replaced the front panel toggle switches and much more. It was well worth it. The S-53A is one well built radio.
