Mystery Model from Canada
#1

I am so glad to have found this forum. Our Philco console radio has been in our family for nearly fifty years. I can't find any good info for it. It was produced in Canada (not sure which year) and the manual I have for it is for model 726. It has a five tube am radio and a three speed turntable. The chassis number stamped on the back of the tuner is 726-2. The cabinet is identical to a 1950 50-1721. The radio and turntable still work and the cabinet is in very good condition. Can anyone point me in the right direction to snag someone info?

You probably already read Ron's info at http://www.philcoradio.com/world/canada.htm

Others in this phorum may have additional info but I did find this-- model was listed for sale in Oct 2010 for $100 at http://brantford.canadianlisted.com/art-...59416.html

You might also get in touch with the JustRadios folks and see if they have a schematic or other info: http://www.justradios.com/schematics.html or get some info/schematic from the Canadian Vintage RAdio Society http://wakefieldwebworks.ca/cvrs/resourc...c-service/

I couldn't find anything about it on the philco Canada website you mentioned above. I will certainly check the other websites you have suggested.
Thanks for the reply Bob.

Cheers
