Firstly, the 1949 and 1950 Dodge and Plymouth Philco sets were the same. (Motorola made the 6 tube sets for Dodge-Plymouth those years)
Secondly, battery polarity on those sets doesn't matter. They have interrupter vibrators.
The sticker in the set with the schematic on it is so small, so as to be useless. I have the Philco service notes, and could copy them for you.
You will find that these sets used black plastic cased capacitors, same as the earlier model C-4608 Chrysler sets. These capacitors become resistors with age, and have to be replaced in their entirety. Once done, the set will about knock you on the floor with its performance. Like its 41-48 predecessors, those sets have superb audio, as well as a hot RF channel.
