ground antenna
#13

If you look in the back of the radio, can you see a sticker with the Philco Model number? Either stuck to the metal chassis or a paper label of some sort against the left or right wall inside the cabinet?

Some Philco cathedral models were better performers than others. But like it has been mentioned here, a 20 ft. piece of wire should work fine on pretty much all off them and as well as rabbit ears.

The radio could have a problem, and if it has never been serviced, it really should be to avoid worse problems.
