My Philips V5A works OK on medium waves, not so good on long waves and totally silent on the short waveband.
Tried another FC4 frequency changer valve, but still no results on SW.
The HT smoothing capacitors will need replacing. Smoothers apart, the only component replaced is the coupling capacitor between the TDD4 audio amplifier and the PENA4 output valve.
Even the HT rectifier looks to be the original Philips 1821.
