What do you know about a Philco steeple clock radio?
#11

It's got the wrong rectifier tube, should have a #80 it looks to have a 5Z3. Will work but draws 1 amp more filament current than the 80. Should be changed back to an 80
Also looks like it's had some service work done to it as the red wire going to the 36 grid cap isn't original and is a fair amount of work to replace.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
