Newbie looking for part's
#1

Hi all, I am new not only to this site, but am working on my first radio restoration.
I got a Philco A-361 from my cousin (She had no room for it) that her parents bought new in 1942. It was pretty rough when I got it, But lot's of sanding, paint remover and scraping and hour's of watching video's, I got it to look nice. Probably not to "Professional standards" but hey I'm not a professional.
Just was looking for a few part's for this thing and either they are not real common, not a real popular build, or I just ain't doing it right. I got the radio working good but if there is a light that is supposed to come on for like a back light behind the dial window, that don't work so might need a bulb for that, I haven't had a chance to to check that yet. The part's I'm looking for are the knobs and bezels, the decal for the front and maybe the new glass piece for the dial.
Hope I posted this in the right spot!! Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the Phorum!!  Icon_wave

Have you looked at the resources page on the PhilcoRadio.com site?
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/907/M0013907.htm has the schematic showing a 34-2064 pilot bulb which corresponds to a #44 bulb as seen at the Philco Repair Bench http://www.philcorepairbench.com/lamps.htm

Checkout Radiodaze.com for decals, bezel, etc.

Thanks for the reply, Will check out the schematic when I get time to pull the radio out again. I went to Radiodaze.com, but could not find any where that had the knobs, not saying it is not there, just couldn't find it. I did find the decals though (o: Super busy at work right now (self employed) just didn't want you to think I didn't see the post. Thanks a bunch
