Hi guys!

So, the situation is that I got an old vintage Philco that my grandfather left me, but I can't find the exact model
of it and I would like to restore it, as it is in very very poor shape, as you can see from the pictures.

Could anyone help me find the exact model of this machine and the matching wire scheme or diagram? Where can I find the year it was fabricated? All I can read is Philco Tropic...

How much do you think I would spend restoring it?

Thank you very very much in advance!
