I was never a big fan of the Philco 19/89 series of radios until I recently obtained a model 19LZ that had a fantastic chassis resto by Bob Timms (another great american). This is an early model that has no police band. I must admit that it is a good reciever/player. But then it had a good radio guy who did the work on it.
I see that Dan's 19 does not have the "shield" between the power transformer and the 80/42 tubes. Was this an item that was commonly removed, or perhaps it was an item not included on the later model 19s?
