Help needed for a Philco-Tropic Radio, model 3000, code 121
#1
Wink 

Hello everybody.
Recently i've recieved from a friend a Philco-Tropic Radio, model 3000, code 121 (according to the paper label on the back side of the chassis). This radio was bought allmost 20 years ago and before this purchase a techisian made some modifications because he replaced some tubes (14B6 with 12SQ7-GT, 35YA with 35Z5-GT and 50A5 with 50L6-GT). In my attempt to make it work again, i found some cables connected to ...nowere. So, i need a schematic for this radio but i can't find it. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
SV2HWH, Konstantinos.
