Hi,

I have a Canadian made Philco Tropic Model 87 which looks similar to the US Model 49-905.  This radio has five tubes and can run on AC or DC.  Attached are some photos.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

K

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
