I've seen quite a few posts about this set. I have one that I've never dug into nor fired up. From what I've been able to gather, the power transformers tht Philco used in these sets were under rated, which is unusual for Philco. (Perhaps they bought from Zenith's transformer vendor) But we must also remember that these sets were converted from the Chrysler sets as they were made , with war substitute-grade transformers.

So, when I un-bury mine, I should have a new power transformer near at hand. I've never heard one, but they ought to have terrific audio. Those 8 tube Chrysler sets were one of the best sounding auto sets made from the mid thirties, well into the fifties.
