Philco or not Philco ?
#4

Unless Ron knows something......these export models are poorly documented.
If I were to deal with such radio, I'd have to go by replacing the caps with what's written on them, making sure the coils are not open and then trying to read the resistors' codes and check and replace them accordingly as needed.

In fact that would do it most of the times. If we are talking the electrical restoration. And then, if there are no docs as to the cabinet specifications, one could probably go from what he sees and the general tendencies of the time period (what veneers / toning lacquers were in use and such).

I hope the speaker is OK, plus it seems to have the shadow meter, which I also hope is OK.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
