Hello all,

I recently purchased a Philco radio model 49-902. It is in excellent cosmetic condition, however when powered up there is a loud hum and when it does pick up a station it is very garbled. I have located the schematic and have skimmed over a few websites (antiqueradio.org, audiokarma.com, etc.) I have read that replacing the capacitors should be done first and the tubes rarely need to be replaced. I would like to do the work myself and get it back to good working condition. I bought the radio for myself and I wanted a project I could be proud of.

So, I am requesting any tips, tricks, advice, and experience. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!
Editha
