Philco 51-1733 Console Humming
#7

Unless you want to get into it, and this is not a very safe hobby for those who has no experience, not to ward you off or anything, but I would say, find someone.

Also, these 40s-50s consoles (I am working on one now) are not for the faint of heart.

I would recommend starting from 30s consoles or tabletops. The early ones. Like a 90 or a 70. Walk in the park.
If you want to take on this one:

Every single tubular paper cap has to be replaced.
Every electrolytic cap has to be replaced.
The resistors have to be measured and should they happen to be outside +/-20% - replaced.
Tubes tested and replaced as needed.
And then if you are lucky this is it, if not - shorts, open coils......

Then the alignment. You will need equipment for that. And then there is FM too.

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.
