Posted on behalf of Scott "Robbie" Roberts. Here's his comments:

I just brought home another Philco- this is number 5 on Philco's, number 8 on radios in need of repair...

What is it? All the stickers are missing- this one has obviously been stored in an unhappy locale...

The stamped serial number is: P05708 It looks to be a two band chassis inside, and has an early style shadow meter...it has 8 tubes.

I have no clue what it is- but guess what- I adopted it and wish to rehabilitate it... As usual. Got it for $75- got the seller down from $100. Tried to offer $50, but she wouldn't bite. I still feel it was worth it to save this neat looking one. Now I need a house with lots of rooms...

If you want to post this to the Philco Phorum with your reply, please feel free to do so.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
