Hi Joe,
Thank you for your interest in this set . It is a five tube set . It has only a two gang tuning condenser and no r.f. stage .I think Mr Fixr is right - it is an aftermarket set being branded Philco and made to fit under the dash so not a factory installed in the car set. The tube lineup is correct , the valve numbers correct for their function in the set. So no one has discovered a valve not lighting and put in a substitute " because it fits in the socket so it must be right" as sometimes happens.
Thanks again and cheers, Antipodal
