Philco 46-1203, radio doesn't work.
#4

Thank you Tony for the advice and link to the schematics. I'm going to try to replace the capacitors and 2 of the tubes after I clean it up some and see what it does from there. The unit has 3 knobs, one marked "dial tuning" that moves the radio's needle, one marked "tone" and I don't know what that does, and one marked "phono off radio" that switches the unit from phono to radio or off. When I plugged it in, it was set on phono and the arm moved and dropped down on an old 78 record that was left in it and started playing perfectly but very low. There was no background noise or hum or static, just the low sound of the music. When I switched the knob to "radio" and ran the needle across the dial, I got nothing, not even a hum or static. It appears to have an internal antennea.
