As 462ron said, it's 175 kc.

The correct alignment info may be found in the book Aligning Philco Receivers, Volume 1 by John F. Rider. A copy may be found in the Philco Phorum's Library:

https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...ers-vol-i/

The alignment info is on page 84 of the book (page 128 of the PDF file).
