Your message was just great.  I just started working, restoring a Model 90 Cathedral Philco.  My Dad bought this new in the last century.  My intention is to bring the radio back, the best that I can.  I too have the one 47 output tube.  I am at the point of removing the tuning capacitor for cleaning.  I am anxious on how far to go?  Right now, I’m dubious about the warnings that the radio might not work again if you change a wire or reroute it etc..  I’m now waiting for Philco to put a recap kit together for me.
Best regards,
TUBEJOCKEY
