Howdy!
I am very new to radio restoration, and even newer to this forum.
Recently I have inherited a Philco Radio that I believe is a Philco Model 20. It has a couple broken tubes (24a and 71a) and some dings to the wood housing, but otherwise in good condition.
The sticker is worn where the model number is, but research indicates a model 20 (confirmation from one of you chaps would be nice).
I'll search the forums for a good place to buy replacement bulbs, but a response would be just as good.
Is there anything I should be worried about after I replace the bulbs, or should I just light it up after they are inserted?
Pics or it didn't happen:
