Thanks for all the comments on this. In response to the last comment, yes, the quality of the cabinet work is very good. There were scratches and nicks that are nearly undetectable now and the finish is as perfect as anything I could compare it too. I guess the error is in the model year they tried to match. The restorer claims they refinish matching Philco colors, so if the tone is the same as the 1936 (these photos probably don't show it well) then I probably have a fairly unique product; a July 1934 radio (based on escutcheon and dial) with a 1936 color scheme. Oh well...at least it sounds great.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
