Philco 20?
#4

Hi and Welcome to the Phourm!
I'll mention a few of the common problems with the model 20. Open driver transformer #21,(if open must replace. Can be had without much trouble) RF coils #'s 2, 7, & 10 open primary (no biggie can be rewound by hand), Field coil #30 (if open must replace speaker. Original good ones are hard to find and $$$. Can be replaced with a modern part with some circuit changes).
Then there's all the regular stuff the resistor check/replace and cap replace. I just finished up a model 20 a month or two ago and I have a model 21 (same as the 20 just different output tubes) that I'm going to start in on soon.

Now I think I've got!
