Hi Mike,
Common problems bad paper caps, bad resistors 10k and 1Meg, open ant coil pri, open oscillator coil feedback winding, poor grounds though rivets hum, and filter caps.
Fun set work well when all the bugs are out. Coils are easy to rewind.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
