Newbi & 42-380
#9

There probably was an owners brochure that went with the radio but you rarely see those. What you want is the Service Bulletin which for this radio can be found here: http://www.audiophool.com/Philco.html . You'll have to download a DjVu plugin from https://www.cuminas.jp/en/downloads/download/?pid=1 . Some folks have trouble with this and if so you can a) go to http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/533/M0013533.htm and here http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...013534.pdf or b) for the most complete info Chuck Schwark sells the info in very readable form for a few bucks at http://www.philcorepairbench.com/schematics.htm .

Sources for various parts can be found here: http://www.philcoradio.com/resourceb.htm

You do realize... that once you start down this road you may become obsessed with the radio restorations Icon_lol
