Hello,
Would this radio be the one listed in resources as the Philco model 60? Don't have a tube line up yet, this will be a chore to get to from looking at the back.
Thanks
Mitch

Carl,
My model is the 60, 1934. Will this schematic on the resources work fo me? This is the deepest involvement i have gotten into since starting this radio mania. The radios i repair are for my seven grandchildren.
Thanks for the help

Carl,
Most valuable info, saved on my desk top.
Best to you, thanks

This is a very nice radio and a nice radio to work on. I got mine going when I was 16, and it still works well.

It is common for the oscillator secondary to corrode through, but it is easily rewound. The tin box containing filter caps and all of the bakelite capacitors should be rebuilt, or at least those serving high voltage and/or high impedance circuits. This is a bit of a chore.

If the wet electrolytics have leaked and dried up, substitutes will have to be wired in underneath, or you can stash them inside of the original units if you prefer. There are articles explaining how to do this. Since the electrolytics are clamped at a certain point, they can be cut open at this point without it being noticeable. Be sure to observe that the electrolytics do NOT ground to the chassis.

Thomas,
Will heed what you recommend as to repair and safety. I will be very patient with this one, it's my first like it, but it is beautiful.
Thanks

Which version do you have? Cathedral or tombstone?
