Philco 20?
#2

Hello and welcome! That looks like a very nice Model 20 "Deluxe."
http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1931a.htm#a

First off, it appears that the set's 80 rectifier tube is inserted in one of the 71A sockets (I am referring to the tube in the back of the chassis, between the remaining 71A and one of the cylindrical coil shields). The 80 goes in the socket at far right (viewing the chassis from the rear), behind the rectangular can which houses the filter capacitors.

By "bulbs," I assume you are referring to the tubes.

No, don't just plug it in and turn it on! Please read these pages first:
