Hello Matt,
First thing I wanted to do is to welcome you to the Philco Forum !
What Great looking set it looks to be in very nice shape .
So Why don't we start with your background So do you have any electronics back ground ?
Have you ever restored any 1930s Philco's if not you will find under the chassis what is called a bakelite block and there are a few under the chassis there are capacitors that are sealed in tar in those blocks that will need to be replaced plus that cardboard box looking thing is the sets main electrolytic capacitors that will also need to be changed.
on this sight you will also find Schematic to help in repairing this set.
Sincerely Richard
