Just like vintage TV sets, be sure to replace all the wax caps. And the electrolytic caps too. And it's likely a hot chassis set, so exercise care.

That's not what I mean. Why on gods green earth would you plug a crumbling cord in just to see if something will light up? Somebody is going to electrocute themselves someday.
