I restored a 60 less than a year ago.
It is a mediocre radio, with just so-so acoustics for a tabletop, but for a collector like myself it is a piece of Philco history and is worth restoring and keeping. My 60 is this one (there are a few other cabinet types including a small tombstone)

A very typical problem is the oscillator coil open, and other RF coils also.
Otherwise simple to restore.
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.
