Welcome to the Phorum, James! According to the information available in our Philco Radio Gallery and Philco Radio Library, your 49-607 is probably a 48-360 chassis in a 'refreshed' cabinet. Plenty of information is available in those sites located at the bottom of this page. Photographs are always helpful. It sounds like the 117z3 tube is now toast. I would recommend replacing all paper and electrolytic caps, and any out-of-tolerance resistors. I am sure others who have worked on these will help out with more information. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
