Just received Philco 51-1730
#1

I just inherited a Philco Radio Model #: 51-1730 Version: 121

I knew for years I wanted this from my Dad and once I got my own house, I finally have a place to put it! For being 62 years old I feel it is in pretty good condition. Veneers and finish are in almost 'like-new' condition (see pictures)--just some superficial scratches you would even hardly expect from a 62 year old piece of equipment!

Anywho, I'm looking for parts! The dial knobs--all four!

The radio does not work but still has the guts. I'm looking to replace that and get it into working condition.

And last, the speaker screen on the bottom.

I'm a newb so any resources/link to get me in the right direction is helpful, Thanks!!!

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
