Philco Model 256F UK Model ?
#5

Hi Dave and welcome,
The chassis does look a lot like the US model 50 BUT your set is a superhet where as the 50 is the old trf design. More than likely it's closer to the model 52. The output tube in the rear view of your set looks a bit small to be a #47 tube. Looks more like a 2A5 (2.5v heater) or the newer 42 (6.3v heater). Don't know if there is a corresponding US model. Here's the data on the 52:  http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...029635.pdf

My best guess on the Gramophone is that it's a UK built devise, again may not be anything over here that looks like it.
Perhaps others may have some more encouraging news.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
