chassis schematic - Which Philco model?
#7

Mondial is correct - the chassis is a 40-180. The key giveaway is the converter-oscillator tube, which has a grid cap - clearly intended to be a 6J8GT (originally 6J8G).

It looks like someone stuck a 40-180 chassis in a 41-280 cabinet. As Mondial said, that loop antenna will not work with the 40-180 chassis. The 40-180 not only requires a large loop covered in heavy brown paper for AM reception, but also a simple one-turn loop mounted under the top of the cabinet for SW reception.
