Hi Adam,
>What are my real dangers with it unplugged?
Very little. Would be a freak sort of accident to get shocked.
>I’m guessing likely a bad tube? [Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...on_lol.gif][Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...n_evil.gif]
More than likely there will be several issues to correct. A tube or two may be part of the problem. Unless your set came from CA you are probably going to have decaying rubber wire which can be a bit of a pain to replace
> I downloaded the schematic for it but I’m not sure how to read it.
Not sure what you are saying. Is it just schematics w/vacuum tubes or you have no clue as to how to decipher what you are looking at on any schematic?

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
