I like that set. I compared its schematic to the T7-5 and I see they are basically the same; RCA just added a tuning eye tube to the T7-5, changed the rectifier from an 80 to a 5Z4, and put it all in a different cabinet.

I own a T7-5 and it is a great little radio.

Count on replacing at least one, and probably both, of those Candohms. It seems that where Philco's weak point is coils, RCA's is Candohms.
