Yes , one of the tubes dropping low voltage also may do this, though the drop would get distributed. I think the C11 because the radio plays, though all is possible.
BTW, nF is nanofarads.
More, though again not too likely: see if C13A is what it should be and not , say, 300uF.
If I did not know the radio plays, I'd say make sure the filament and the cathode are not shorted, but then the rectifier wouldn't work, and it obviously does, since it plays.
PS. Did not know Philco made "all-american fives".
