  Well I decided to dig in to this Philco close and play record player / radio. The speaker transformer had broken off in shipping and the wires had snapped so I repaired that and it still didn't work. I noticed that the 41 tube was not lit and found a break in the tube from the broken speaker hitting it. Once that was replaced it came to life. I recapped the chassis and put in one of my rebuilt cartridges (SAMS Icon_twisted ). The record is the test record so it doesn't sound very good but she plays real nice and the radio plays exceptionally well with a short antenna...
