I'm having trouble reading the schematic for this radio on resistor R6. It looks like it says 130 or 150 ohms but it's too fuzzy to tell. Can someone verify this? Right now there is a 250 ohm resistor there that is not original.

Hi Aaron, the schematic on this site has 130. Here's what I do with most Philco radios I work on nowadays. Go to this site:

Order the service data from Chuck. You can't beat the deal. You'll get design changes, schematic and whatever. The 130 ohm is for cathode bias and sometimes it may change. But it's been a stable value for quite awhile.
