Haha. Small world. That was infact me who bought it at WARC. I have a soft spot for radios that just scream Art Deco, and this one did for me.
The seller said it lights up, and hums. But that's it. I'll go through and recap and replace the resistors (they are all dogbones, which in my experience usually means there is a 75% chance they are out of spec) and see what happens.
Which I should probably focus on before worrying about knobs, grommets, and dials. I looked under it tonight. Philco went crazy with the bakelite blocks on this one. I only did one of those before. A bit messy, but I got the job done. I'll be an expert after this one.
