Thanks, Steve!

Took your advice, and the set came to life earlier this afternoon.  

Based on the appearance of several replacement electrolytics and grease pencil notes on several tube bases, it looks like this set was last serviced on March 24, 1950.

Now it's time to restuff the Bakeline blocks!
