Welcome to the Phorum, Matt! In the Philco Radio Library located at the bottom of this page has service information for both of your radios. Both radios are subject to having degraded rubber insulation on the wires in the chassis. Check them closely. Both radios will at very least need to be recapped and out-of-tolerance resistors replaced. Do not power them up before doing this. Mica caps are usually OK. Both are Loctal vacuum tubes. Clean all tube pins and sockets. Lots of other members here to help you along the way. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
