Looking for TV console model #
#1

Hi,
First time on the Phorum.
I recently acquired a Philco tv, record player, radio console. I followed all the suggestions on the Philco site as to how to identify the model #.  There is no Philco tag on the cabinet, and no chassis # stamped on any of the components.  The tube layout guide is also gone. I did the best I could with a Sam's Photofact #123 which puts the console # at 51-T1443 PL but it's just barely not right. 
The first problem I have is that it's missing a tube. The schematic for the RF-IF tuner shows a 6CB6 tube, but on the chassis there is a 9 pin socket, which means I have the wrong schematic. 
So... I'm trying to find the console model # , so I can get the correct schematic,  so I can get the correct tube. The back of the tuner just has RF 35 rubber stamped,  and RUN 6.
I've been searching that #, and no results. I have pics of the console, and found one on the internet that looks like an exact match, but still no mod #. And adding pics here is a little tricky. 
Any ideas how to find a mod # with no markings on the unit ?
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi and welcome.

Is the other tube a 12AV7? If so looks like the missing tube is a 6BQ7.

Now I think I've got!
