Any radio from 1949 will have tubular paper caps and electrolytic caps that have deteriorated from age alone and have to be updated. The condition of the tubes is also a part of the picture. Even if the mileage is low, a 74 year-old radio will almost certainly have multiple issues to address. Pretty sure this model contains the infamous "1L6" tube that nobody sells.
