If I buy it I hope the shadow meter works:  I don't have any Philcos with a shadow meter.  And I know this one is only a 6 tuber so it is nothing special as far as performance goes.  Just something for me to keep occupied and repair.

 Actually the model 630 shares the same circuit and chassis with the model 620, which I happen to own in the 620B version, the only difference is in the addition of the shadow meter and related circuitry. In any event all of these sets, the 620, the 625, and the 630, have a tuned RF amplifier stage which makes them hot performing sets for what they are. If the set is complete and the price cheap enough a 630 console model is a good set to own if you like the cabinet, and want a daily driver, although in my situation I already own too many consoles.
