1959 Philco Model G1708S
#2

Welcome to the Phorum!

Attaching images is fine. You have two (three if you count the cabinet) things to repair/restore. The radio/amp chassis and the phonograph. We do not have 1959 info in the library but you can get a schematic from SAMS for $15 at https://www.samswebsite.com/en/photofact...and/PHILCO

There may be other sources for it as well. I don't restore phonographs very much so others will have to help there. Your radio chassis will likely need the capacitors changed out and resistors changed if out of spec (more than 20% off). the turn table likely needs cleaning at the least. You'll need a digital volt meter with ability to measure resistance and a soldering iron and solder, needle nose pliers, wire clippers. Take some time to read up on what others have done to restore radios. There are many restorations in the Phorum and a good beginner read is on Phil Nelson's site. Your tubes may well be OK although no guarantee. They are not the most likely failure points. Do some reading and come back with questions.
