I have restored three Philco 20: one console and two cathedrals. All threads are here.
I agree with what Gary said: full recap, the can included, and carbon resistor replacement.
Also, check the wire-wound; often enough the 1400 ohm section in series with the centertap of the filaments' winding for 71A is open. As well as check it in general. This is usually not replaced even if a section is bad; the bad section is shunted with the appropriate resistor.

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.
