CL leads me to a Philco 51 lowboy/Results
#5

This radio requires the wires to the speaker to be un-soldered to pull the chassis. So I pull the chassis and the speaker. My initial transformer checks are good, so I decide to do a huge speaker cone rip(s) repair first. This morning I jumper in the speaker and bring the set up to 70 volts. It works! So with seemingly no repairs ever (the copper can filters look old), although the two 24s are not globes and the 47 was missing, this old radio still works. Isn't that amazing? The audio isn't great, so it will only get better.
