Read the stickies on the top of the vintage radio domestic section, where you posted.

There are instruction threads, please use 'search' and read them.

What are your skill levels with electronics please? Are you used to working on mains connected equipment?

The output valve grid 1 coupling capacitor will need to be changed as an absolute minimum to prevent destruction of output valve, output and mains transformers.

You need to do some meter checks before you plug it in.

Build yourself a lamp limiter and use it on initial connection to the mains.

Read as many restoration threads as possible, you will learn masses of sound instruction and achieve a good outcome.

Ask questions, we will help you provided that you show an understanding of what is involved.

Sam.
