New find. 91X code 225
#6

Yeah the 121/221 documentation was correct for the RF end of the radio. It left me scratching my head when I was looking at the audio end and finding a bunch of parts that weren't on the 121 documentation. Then I had to pull the 126 schematic, which was correct for the audio end. Thanks, Philco... Icon_biggrin

In other news, stringing that dial is a righteous pain in the keister, especially since it had been taken apart and reassembled previously. I ended up needing to brush liquid solder flux on the pulleys to get any traction, but it works great now. Nice being able to tune the radio with the knob and turn it off and on with the switch. Just have to rebuild the tone control and fix the shadowmeter and dial lamp and the chassis is all set. Finishing everything now allows more of my 36 tubes to work correctly too. I'm very pleased with it.
