philco 38-116 amp
#5

The power transformer is rated at 115V. I do not know if the label says 120V so I have to go by 115V.

This means that at 115V this is 1.4 Amp.

Rod:

The radio is not a constant power device, but is pretty much an active load, so as the voltage grows the power grows too.
Therefore, at 120V the current will be 1.46A and the power will be 175W.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
