Philco 46-1203, radio doesn't work.
jola500 Wrote:My brother picked up an old Philco 46-1203, code 122 for me at an estate sale for $2. You can imagine my surprise when I plugged it in and the phono arm lifted up, moved over, then dropped down on the old 78 that was left in it and started playing perfectly. I can't get the radio to play, though, even though all the dials work perfect. There may be a couple of blown tubes in it so I'll replace those first, then see what I'm dealing with. My question is, is there a volume control on this thing? There's no volume dial and the phonograph was a little low with no way to turn it up.
You'll notice that two straight extensions go upward to actuate the actual phono/radio switch. Maybe I'm coming in way late on this. But I was just working with mine today. Counterclockwise from center actuates the phono switch just 1 1/2 " above the dial assembly and increases volume on the phono. Clockwise from center actuates the radio switch and increases the radio volume.
