Found this on a great site, John DeMajo's  "Museum of Yesterday".  It is titled Philco troubleshooting techniques and is a great guide for someone new to collecting and restoring old radios.

I don't know if this document is in the Philco Library or not, so I am placing it here for consideration by the Moderators.  The Museum of Yesterday has a very large collection of telegraph, telephone, radio and TV artifacts and other items reflecting Mr. DeMajo's interests, including a Wurlitzer Theater Pipe Organ, Mr. DeMajo's Ham Radio station and a working consecrated Roman Catholic Chapel!
