Thank you for all your answer.

I think the last owner haven't done a good job. There's lot of bad thing in this radio. The push pull is not here (it's an single ended). I will have to find a driver transformer and a push pull transformer and the original speaker.

I don't no for the cathode but I will add resistor and condenser to make it original.

I think the RF trans former is out of order? I will have to rewind it because there's a wire beetween the antenna and the 6A7 grid to bypass the RF amplifier. Not a good news.

I'm happy to own my second philco. The first one was a model 20 with lot of work (the main transformer was totally burned and I have rewinded it !)

If you want to see what I've done to my philco 20 everuthing is explained here :

have a nice day and than'ks for your answers.
