Philco Model 96 Lowboy
#1

My aunt and uncle just gave this radio to me. I've always wanted to restore an old radio-but I really have no knowledge in this area whatsoever.

Anyway-I don't even know if it works yet. I haven't attempted to plug it in. One of the knobs is missing.

Is it safe to plug it in? I feel pretty daft asking...but really, I don't know where to start.

They also gave me a very old and dusty bag that reads, "Old radio tubes." It's got a bunch of stuff in it, tubes, parts...which, I am of course not getting rid of.

I tried searching for this model and I don't find much-I did see a few photos...but not a lot of info or tales of others who've restored them.

Thank you in advance.
