I would like to verify that my thoughts are correct regarding my Model 70 and its appropriate schematic.
My chassis info:
  SN# 870044 - no prefix
  Tubes: 24 (4), 27, 47, 80
Since I was unable to find a comprehensive serial number compendium I pieced together info from various sources. My understanding is that this is an early model and therefore the correct schematic should be the "Below B-22000" version. Is that correct?

I recently became the owner of a Philco console 42-390, saving it from the dumpster.  It is missing the speaker. It uses a dual 41 push-pull amplifier for its output. I believe it had an 8" speaker.  I have not been able to locate locate an original speaker and transformer(36-1552-4; 32-8120), so I probably will have to install a PM speaker in its place.  Does anyone know what the measurements in ohms is for the field coil and voice coil?  I have a coil winder and have had good results winding new voice coils and field coils for for my Crosleys. Also, it would be of help to know what output transformer should I use as a replacement? 
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

Greetings all,
I'm an editor penning captions for a book on mid-century architecture and seek to identify this console in a home, the Van Sicklen house, from 1952. Critically, the architect was known for designing built-in furniture and cabinetry that meshed seamlessly with the room and did not call attention to itself. Therefore, although to my knowledge, many console units from this era were encased in cabinets like this, I believe—and need to confirm—if this unit has been modified to exist within custom cabinetry. I must learn:

1. The specific make and model (I believe I see "PHILCO" on the tone arm when zoomed way in)
2. Is all of the original cabinet not visible and this is entirely a custom built-in; or, has surrounding word work been made to match and blend with the unit, but it's the unit's wood work/cabinet that we see on the outside?
3. Year 
4. I believe this is on the cusp of the Hi-Fi era, so can the unit be referred to as a "Hi-Fi console"?
5. Stereo yet? Separate woofer and tweeter yet?

Any assistance, greatly appreciated.

I have a Philco 96 with a broken dial string. I am not sure how to restring this radio. I assume you start with the tuning condenser fully closed, but cannot find any diagrams for how to route the cord and where to take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cord wraps for allowing the dial cord to grip. There is one spring in the dial drum for tension. Any help in how to route and wrap the cord for this radio would be appreciated.

Every once in a while, I come across some Philco Accessories that I have to have.  Issue is I have no idea when they were produced, model numbers, or radios they may have been made for.  Anybody have any incite on these two?

Thanks

I wanted to ask if anyone knows the values and voltages for the power transformer in an Emud T7 radio? The one in my recapped T7 fried a couple years back and my friend said there is a chance he has a transformer that might work when I bought the SABA off him. He found a few boxes of power transformers when he was cleaning out his shop before the auction and took them home.

Hello, I'm VERY new to this, I'm glad I found a community that can help (if anyone can).  

I have a 1935 66B that belonged to my Grandfather or perhaps my Great Grandmother.
It needs a lot of TLC, but it seems to work. (Yes, I plugged it in before I knew I shouldn't, luckily I dodged a bullet.)  
The dial light still lights and sound came out of the speaker.

A long time ago I used to work on basic electronics, so I'm going to give it a go and see if I can restore it. 

The first thing I want to do is take the chassis out of the box to give it a good cleaning.  Is there a right way (or a wrong way) to take it apart?

I have seen a You Tube video where the guy uses solvent based contact cement, the kind you use for veneer gluing, to repair rips in the cone sans any paper. What do we think of that idea. I tried one once and seemed to sound good when it was done.

The IF's aligned easily, except for this step where it appears you are expected to get two peaks on either side of the IF freq. That just doesn't  happen, and I'm not sure how it ever would unless I'm misunderstanding the instructions. My interpretation: "adjust signal generator back and forth between 460 and 480, you should get equal 2 signal peaks, one at 465 and one at 475.  If you don't, adjust the primary padder of 94 left and right of peak until you do".  I can wrench on that padder all day long and never get anything other than a single peak at the 470 IF.  Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
