Canadian made Philco Model 730
#1

I just came into possession of this radio/record player. It was my parents and it was stored upstairs(unheated) for the past 30 years . My mother said she thought it still worked but after getting it home, guess what?,,, Nothing Icon_sad . Can anyone tell me what to do now? The door needs repair as my nephew when he was a toddler sat on the door and the screws pulled up through the veneer. I plan on repairing it and give it a new finish. I remember as a young lad sitting in front of this as it was the only radio we had then. It has 5 tubes 50X6 , 35L6 , 7C6 , 7B7 and 7A8 . The 50X6 was unreadable as it was totally black. Luckily someone had written tube numbers below the sockets. Any help would be appreciated..

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