Hi from France !

I repaired a Philco receiver recently. It was bought about 25 dollars to a broker. It was completely out of order and I had to work for 3 weeks to put it well...

But I can't find which model it is, neither the year of the fabrication....
I just know it was imported from USA to France just before the Second World War.

I remark the dial is not the same than all those I see while searching on the American web sites. Mine is a metal circular one as you see on the picture. Perhaps the receiver was modified in a french factory before to be sold?

The tubes are 58, 2A7,58, 2A6, 47, 80, (Heating 2,5 volts as you see.)
The intermediary Frequency is 128 Khz.
The set has a three parts variable condenser with a HF amplification by a 58 tube.
Two waves bands: LW (1000 to 2000 m, MW (200 to 550m)
It looks like the 623B or 630B models I saw at http://philcoradio.com/gallery/1936a.htm

You can see my Philco at the following url:

Great thanks for your Helps. However, merry Christmas enjoyments and happy new year to American people...
