I'm a bit excited after finally getting my first cathedral - a Philco 71. Got a tip about a local auction and this was the only radio in a sea of glassware and other knick knack type antiques, so I took a gamble thinking that not a lot of collectors would go for a chance at 1 radio. Gamble paid off - made a phone ahead maximum bid with the auctioneer and ended up getting it for $55. Picked it up today and hopefully this winter it will be one of my projects to work on. The cabinet is in not too bad shape and the chassis looks complete, even the rectifier tube is the large globe style. Just wanted some feedback from some of you who may have one as to it's performance, any repair tips/common issues with this set etc.
