The Philco 47-1230 console-style radio has Phono, AM, SW, and FM capabilities. The one I am trying to make work for a friend has been worked on before. The original, semi-rotatable, loop antenna is still in place, but the two fixed antennas are not. The Philco Service Manual shows the antennas in the schematic, but they are not described in any detail in the text. I have tried several wire placements, but I have not found a satisfactory one for either the broadcast or for the shortwave bands. I have been able to hear four or five faint signals in the broadcast band, but none in the shortwave band. Several stations are heard in the FM band.

If you have one of these sets could you look at the antennas and describe them to me? (Or is there a printed description available?)

Also, Is there any information about the phonograph player care and maintenance, cartridge type, and needle style?

Many thanks!
