Hi Naomi,

Assuming you are located in the UK and that is where you purchased the radio, please understand that I - and many others - have written about, studied, collected, etc. chiefly USA Philco radios and we are not really that familiar with Philco's UK products. And this is only because there is virtually no information on UK Philco radios on this side of "the pond".

I generally do not like to send folks to other forums when they come here for answers, but sometimes I have to make exceptions; and this is one of those cases.

I think you may be able to learn a little more about your radio via the UK Vintage Radio Repair & Restoration forum.

I have a few UK-made Philco radios, and I think it is neat how different they are from USA Philco radios. Yours is no exception.

Good luck!
