1936 philco 610 radio

A friend of mine brought this radio to my place the other day to see if I could get it going again. He said it belonged to his great grandfather and hes kept it a long time so I'd feel kinda bad if I couldnt fix it for him. He said he tried to plug it in 10 years ago and the dial light lit up but no tubes lit up and not sound. I noticed the rectifier tube it missing so hopefully he didnt do any damage trying to fire it up. I'm going to get the missing tube and replacements for any others that are bad as well as replace all the caps. What else do I need to look at? I've worked on tube amps before but not a radio and nothing this old. Hopefully I can get it going for him and his father is a cabinetmaker so hes going to clean up the console as the finish has seen better days but the wood itself is still in decent shape.
