Philco 269 - 444 FIVE VALVE VERSION?
#1

Hello everyone, my first visit to this forum. 

A friend recently donated this Philco 269 radio to me, in the hope I can get it going and donate it to a living history museum or some other worthy cause.

I've found various service information for the 269 (chassis?) 444 (model?) but they all refer to it as being a 3 valve + rectifier model. Mine has 4 valves + rectifier.

All the valves look intact, the radio has been stored in a loft for many years but does show signs of previous repairs.

It would seem the mains transformer has been replaced, the wires are all taped with very old cloth insulating tape and there are several new wires in the chassis - the yellow ones.

So my question is, what model is this? I can't find it in the gallery. The radio appears to have been made in the UK, it has the Perivale label on it.

Also a request, if anyone has a circuit diagram for this 5 valve version, I'd love to get it working.

Thanks Chas.
