Hi and welcome to the Phorum,
Here's the Philco service info for your set (code 123). https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20166A.pdf
Another common way to power the 2v filaments was to use a 6v car battery. These are made up of 3 2v lead acid cells linked together by lead straps linking the cells together in series. You could access them easily from the top so tapping off 2v was a snap.
Have fun chasing electrons!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
