I’m trying to keep this all on one thread so..
This looks like a 2.2 megaohm resistor and 1 megaohm - parts 29 and 46. From the schematic it doesn’t appear that they both are on 7C6 first audio.
I’ll have to check this further. I’m reading the wire going from the 2.2 megaohm resistor as the blue wire to the IF noted in the schematic.
In any event the radio is working very well. As I replace more parts and wiring it appears the sensitivity is increasing. Waiting on a parts delivery to finish this up. I think I’ve gotten most of the ratty wiring out of this.
The last two photos are not Philco but I found this 1936 GE today as a display piece in a local shop. Not sure the guy wants to sell, but it’s interesting. Seems mostly complete. I offered the guy $50.
