Thanks Ron. I approached the job with great trepidation due to what I had seen reported elsewhere on the internet. I, too, had no such problems. Restringing the dial cord was a little challenging but I managed to complete it in an hour. I guess I need to replace the FM1000 tube. The FM sounds a little distorted. I have three tube testers, Triplett 3444, Hickok 6000A and a TV-2, none of which I can find data to test the FM1000. Thanks for the info on the first Philco model to provide the modern FM band.
