Here we go again...

This is the chassis for a Philco (Canada) model 35A. It is almost identical to the USA-made-for-export Tropic 41-712.

You can read more about the 41-712 and see a photo here.

Someone had fun with the speaker, unfortunately:

You can see besides the holes which were probably poked with a pencil, a piece of cone was also glued on to cover a large hole in the cone.

Let's take a look under the hood.

A previous owner replaced the AC cord and two of the electrolytics...and apparently nothing else.

The good news is that the only rubber-covered wire in the entire radio is the lead going up to the single dial lamp. I am surprised that it does not have a lamp on both left and right sides of the dial. I double-checked the schematic to be sure, and no, it only shows one dial lamp.

Even the IF transformer leads in this set are cloth-covered.

As usual, you can follow along with my progress by looking at the schematics for yourself.
