Thanks Ron. For some reason, even though these were expensive sets when new they don't seem very popular among collectors - possibly because of the amount of space they take up.
I looked at the schematic in Rider Vol 18 and I see the FM1000 circuitry you are talking about. I'd never heard of the problems associated with the FM1000, but then again I haven't serviced a Philco with FM before. Being a 1948 model, I wouldn't expect FM to be as good as it was say 5 years later.
Have a good evening!
