I am researching the radios I bought and cant seem to find this Philco 53 anywhere online or in the Philco database. I could just be Icon_crazy

Anyone know?

Nice snag! You must live near the "Sargasso Sea" of antique radios…..

Really? 53 pulls up nothing but 53C does.
Ugh, I stink at searching.

No work for you buddy. I tried 90% of these radios and they all "function".
So just a recap, Replace whatever resistors are bad, a tube check and done. I got it covered... I think Icon_lol

I'm gonna clean up the cabinet but not strip it. The finish looks pretty good as original.

I cant believe I have to go re-order that entire list of resistors again...Icon_rolleyes

Thanks for the help
