Hi and welcome! Icon_smile

The "A" does, indeed, signify the Canadian/Canadien version. The only difference is the values of the filter caps and the power transformer rated for 25 Hz power mains. It will work fine on 60Hz.

The Model 112 is a very nice set and a good performer.

DO NOT plug the set in any more until it can be fully restored. Permanent damage to irreplaceable components can result.

If you are not electronically inclined, I would suggest finding an antique radio club in your vicinity to help you. Many clubs have members who offer restoration services. To find a club near you, see the Radio Club Listing here: http://www.antiqueradio.com/clublist.html

Good Luck and let us know how it goes. Icon_smile

Alternatively, Ron Ramirez here can offer his services as well (shameless plug). See here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.philcoradio.com/rre/services.htm">http://www.philcoradio.com/rre/services.htm</a>
