Thank you, Bob!!!   I appreciate the answer!   The Philco is my 4th restoration.  First was a DuMont hi-fi; it was pretty simple.  It's from 1954 and has a plug on the back to input what I guess would have been a reel to reel tape player in the day.  You turn the knob to auxiliary input.  We input our CD player into it. 
Second was a Lowe Opta Atlanta model AM/FM/Shortwave W. German model with a Perpetual-Rex record changer.  Completely recapped, a couple of burned resistors replaced, did a work around on the old Selenium rectifier.  
Third was an RCA table top AM radio, a 56x5.   Complete recap, but terror of terrors, this one had been "fine tuned" by someone else...it was the winner not only of the Golden Screwdriver award, but the Golden Screwdriver with Diamond clusters.  I thought I'd never get it back to matching up the dial!!!!
