Need Help to ID this radio 11 tube Philco
#13

Fortunately, I did not have to do much to my GE S-22 (RCA R7A) Almost all caps and the 2 audio transformers packed into cans, and need to remove the IF transformers to get to the tabs mounting the cans. I cheated and wired the replacement caps externally to the cans and left them in place, and was able to get to the resistors on th resistor board. Fortunately the power and audio transformers were good. Ditto on the 3 1936 RCA farm sets (5BT, 6BT and spare 6BT chassis). Otherwise, you are right, early 30s RCAs can be interesting. Maybe the easiest (and least work I have done) is on my Zenith 6S52 (chassis only). Lots of room, not many parts. Yes, the 8G005 TO and 6G001 (Broadcast band only) are tightly packed. Bothof these are unrestored but function well. I believe that the 8G005 has the original filter cap.
