Need help in identifying model
#1

Good afternoon.
First of all, thank you for approving me into the phorum. 

I have a Philco tabletop radio that is slowly losing its volume. It tunes the station in fine, but I typically have to turn the volume all the way up to hear it. We haven't used the radio in a while (many months) and when I turned it on this time, even at full blast volume, it is like a 1 out of 10 in terms of volume. 

But before I can ask for help, or a schematic, I need to identify the model, which I'm not finding on the outside or inside of the radio. I've attached a couple of pictures (front and back) in hopes that someone can help me identify which model this is. I've gone to the Philco Radio gallery and browsed each of the years, but did not see this particular model.

Thanks in advance.
Dale
