Philco 52-542-1 totally dead
#4

A 1952 radio, young it be compared to 1930-s sets, still requires recap, especially electrolytics which dry up no matter the looks.
Before you do this, I strongly discourage you to power it up.
The radio being AC/DC set, the lamp and tubes not glowing means there might be a tube with open filament. Check the tubes. Also if there are loctals, their pins oxidize - need to be scratched.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
