Model 20 recently acquired
#3

Hello Steve.  The model 20 was the first Philco I started with. It was my grandparents, and was in about the same shape as yours.  At first look it appears someone put an octal tube substitute in the chassis.  That should be an 80 rectifier.  Chuck Schwark has a great set of paperwork available for this set that you can order from him.  You'll get plenty of practice rebuilding bakelite blocks with this radio, and the filter block can look a little intimidating at first but really isn't that difficult to gut and rebuild.  There are lots of posts here if you research about this set.  Hope the speaker checks out OK. K type speakers are getting pretty scarce.  Take care, Gary

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
