Philco 513 chassis pics
#3

That's how it was when I bought it. Complete set of globe shaped Cunningham tubes! My guess is that they are the originals. The 80 rectifier tested weak so I replaced it with another Cunningham 280 Globe tube, and one 226 tube had its filament burn out while I was testing it. I have a correct globe tube in there for now until I can find another Cunningham 226, otherwise all the other tubes are the same and tested very good. I don't think this set saw a whole lot of use, as up until me it never had any service work done to it. I felt kind of funny restoring it but after hearing it play, I'm glad I did. This is now the oldest working radio in my collection and apart from finding a lower serial number unit it is my oldest Philco.
