Hello my name is Mike and I'm new to the old Philco radios.
I am trying to restore a console radio with turntable.
I broke the tip off of a tube and now I need to find the right
replacement.So I need some help here is the info I have so far.
Console model # is 1731 numbers on tube are 260-5036 and the tube has 7 pins.
I thank you for any help you guys can provide me.
Mike

Hi Mike,
If it's a 51-1731, the info you need can be found at nostalgiaair.org. There is a part placement diagram there.

Welcome!
Does the tube have any marking on it?
What exact model number is it? You gave two different numbers.
If you go to Nostalgiaair.org,
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...013714.pdf
does the chassis look like the one on the drawings on p. 3&4? What position was it in according to these drawings?
