Philco 65 Table radio restoration...help
#1

I am attempting to rebuild one of these for myself and also one for Randy Frazier. Neither of us have enough schematic and parts list info to attempt the repairs. The first hurdle is the combination cap/resistor units. There are some part numbers on a few of them, but the part numbers don't cross to philco block caps. The schematic has no values on it , and there is no parts list. I have taken a photo of the bottom of the chassis and am writing in values we can validate between the two sets, like chokes, wire wound resistors, volume control, etc. Eventually I hope to have a detailed photo with all values detailed for the next guy..meanwhile, we are struggling.

See if this is the same set, and that yours is not an odd Canadian model:
