Hello Terry:
Thank you for taking time to review the schematic and provide a helpful reply. Having some flexibility will make it easier for me to locate a replacement switch.
My sister picked up this radio for me ($40.00). It is the early version 116B, with the shoulder cabinet and 10-inch speaker. A blow to the front broke the cast iron portion of the band switch and separated the sides of the cabinet. I re-glued the cabinet and am picking up missing parts before I begin the electronic restoration. I’ve had good luck so far. I obtained the band switch part from Nathan Slingerland. Tubes from FindATube. Knobs from Julie McCall. I even found the missing aluminum electrolytic capacitors on eBay. What luck. Now for the volume control and schematic/service bulletins. I hope The Philco Repair Bench resumes selling schematics soon.
Happy holidays.
Allen
