Rescuing a Philco... but which one? [With many pictures!]
#3

Ok, I checked out the diagrams. You seem to have a model G-1807S, 09S, 11S, 13S. Probably the same electrically but different cabinet styles or something. The SAMs manuals would have much more info - maybe one of the other guys can help on that given those numbers?

This is a fairly major project...are you sure you are up to it? It may go fairly easily...or not. Pics of the guts would speak volumes about what you may be up against. By 1959 a lot of the troublesome paper capacitors were out of the picture but not completely. And this is before Philco 'went down the tubes' so it should be a pretty good unit at the end of it all.

Do you have a variac by any chance?

-Bill
