Philco 111 Lowboy
#8

Good point about the legs, Arran, I hadn't thought of that. I also thought it was a 96. I got there and counted 11 tube sockets, and was confounded. I hadn't taken note of the 111 model before going to see it. I think it would be a lot easier to find a good cabinet to put the chassis in, than to make anything of this cabinet. There were, after all, 130,000 of the cabinets made. I see them come up every so often.

The radio came with 7 blue globe tubes, 3 - 224s and 4 - 227s. One of the blue 227s tests marginal, otherwise they're all solid. Also 2 other 227s that test fine, one mediocre ST-style 45 (tests about 65%), and a brand-new ST-style 80.

One of these days here, I'll get around to ringing out the electronics to find out if the coils have continuity. I did try measuring continuity on the speaker plug before I bought the radio, and I got about 210 ohms across two of the contacts, and all other pairs were in the 1 to 2 Megohm range. None of those values seems right to me. Will require more investigation.
