Hey all,
I have a nice looking 1955 Philco Tropic A-3601 that's worth restoring. It was built in the UK, but the power supply is engineered for USA mains. It appears to be similar to an AA5 set, with the addition of a shortwave band. All the tubes are common types and UK made. I slowly powered it up and it worked fairly well, but all the tubes test weak and need to be replaced. I'd like to locate a schematic, or at least some alignment info, as I'm not sure what the IF frequency is. My usual sources came up dry.
