I've got a box model 52. All of the caps have been changed, many of the resistors (they seem to go bad rapidly now that it's been fired up).
Philco's have been on my repair bench for 40 years but this model is the worst. Low sensitivity and volume just plague this radio. It's one of the earliest Philco superhets and they sure didn't use many parts in it. Does anyone else share these opinions on the 52?
