Hi, I´m from Buenos Aires and have just picked up a 3010 in red (from the outside and as far i can see from the inside too)
Could not find something similar on the web
Front knobs are original?
Back knob is different
I need some info about this
Thanks!!

Welcome to the Phorum! Icon_wave

We do have some schematics for Philco 3010 in the 1950 Home Radio Year Book in our library. See: https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...year-book/
Cheers,
Bob

Hi Leonardo, and welcome.

There are two versions of the 3010; each have different dial scales. I have both. Mine have brown Bakelite cabinets. I never knew they were offered in red. Neither of mine have the big power resistor as yours has; perhaps because both of mine were designed for use on 110-120 volt AC while I assume yours is designed for 220-240 volt AC.

May we have permission to use your photos in the Philco Library? I should furnish photos of the two I have as well. Thanks.

Let me throw in my welcome also, Leonardo! As the saying goes "just when you thought you have seen it all..." Congratulations, it takes some doing to find a Philco that Ron didn't know about! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
