    Appreciate an ID on this set. It looks like a 48-1263 in appearance but according to the gallery, that model  is AM only with a phono. The one in my picture is AM/SW with phono!

Hi Ron,

It looks like a model 48-1263 to me.
https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1948a/#Model_48-1263

RadioMuseum says it has 2 bands, BC and SW.

Thanks Rodney, yes I did further investigating and saw Radio Museum and others describe it as AM/SW and phono. When trying to find a model/chassis number in the gallery here I saw what appeared to be the 48-1263 but it was described as AM only, no SW. That’s what threw me off as my picture clearly showed the SW band on it!

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
