Looking for TV console model # -

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.
