Philco 39-116

Hi Bart, and welcome!

You can't go wrong for $39. Icon_smile

The radio will be very difficult to service. It is not for the novice. But it can be done.

Besides all of the rubber-covered wiring, you will have to deal with the stepper unit and associated electronics, which changes preset stations and makes the volume go up and down when using the remote.

Read Chuck's Mystery Control primer on his website.

Good luck with the set.
