Hello all,

I am by no means a Philco guru. I actually know very little about them. However, I recently received a huge cabinet that has a radio, TV, and phonograph. I have all the original manuals that came with it. The only model number I found is a part number on the envelope that is 40-7856. In one of the manuals, I found another number in pencil that reads 50-t-1482. I believe it's my grandfather's writing. Either way, I couldn't find either of these on the internet to see if in fact, one of these is the correct model. The reason I am looking for anything is because I am trying to get the phonograph to play correctly through the speaker. The TV works fine and sounds fine, the radio works perfectly, but the phonograph spins and plays, but it comes in ridiculously faint through the speaker. Because I have little experience with things of this nature, I'm not sure if this is a wiring issue or a tube issue. Like I said, it plays through the speaker, but I have to basically put my head next to the speaker in order to hear it. If anyone has any suggestions for me to try, I would be very appreciative. I really want to listen to some records. I look forward to hearing from the forum.

Thanks!
Jake
