Thanks for the advice thus far. I almost bought a model 53-956 a few years back, but was a bit hesitant at the time and missed out. I was looking at a nice condition 49-906 with a bad cord today, but am trying to research that one first. I have a big Philco AM-FM and it's matching console from 1948 that both use two 117Z3 rectifier tubes. The console is fair, but tries to play and the table unit has a livable cabinet, but the best way to describe the inside is 'bio-hazard'. Some critters made a mess in there! In spite of that, it tried to power up and I got a little audio out of it. Not sure what to do with those two.

Edit: They are 1949 models. The table 'bio hazard' one is a 49-909 and the console is either a 49-1100 or 49-1101. Had them for a while.

No matter where you go, there you are.
