Well that's a new one on me. I wonder why Philco would bother with an extra filter choke in a five tuber like this? The set is more or less a model 60 chassis with different band coverage, so why waste money adding an extra inductor that none of their competitors would have? I wonder if the power supply could be rewired to copy the model 60? It looks like capacitor #49 (5 uf) probably shorted out and damaged that silly choke. Possibly one of the capacitors in the tone control did the same and destroyed the output transformer primary, since it's a single ended #42 finding a replacement should not be a problem, you may even be able to find a salvaged Philco output transformer?
