Hello everyone,

I recently acquired a Philco 42-395 that I'm planning on restoring completely, but I'm having some trouble in terms of where to start and where I might be able to purchase replacement parts from (tubes, caps, etc). I searched for schematics as well as tutorials online for this model but unfortunately it seems the sites they were hosted on no longer exist.

I have a fairly decent understanding of electronics but have never worked on a vintage radio before.

Thanks in advance
