[Video: https://youtu.be/WIkO_mTDl0Y]A wonderful gentleman in out local Odgen Amateur Radio Club took my old Philco and put the breath of life back into it.  He called this afternoon and I just picked it up.  I'm beside myself with joy as I listen to this old unit.  It picks up AM and Shortwave.  I was surprised that I was able to pick up Radio Havana Cuba without even putting on a long wire antenna!

Thanks to all for the various suggestions and inputs.
