It's an ac/dc version of the model 84. A couple of other things in the schematic struck me odd. 450kc IF? By '33 Philco had dropped the 175 and 260kc IF except for the 200X and had adopted 460kc. The use of a pm speaker on an ac set in the '30s. Philco use them in the farm set but this is the 1st one I've seen in an ac set.

Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
