Philco Cda 44-121 Ident & Info Required
#1

Hi Ron,

I posted my request on "antiqueradios.com" and Ken (Tarpawns) referred me to you.  I am looking for positive identity of the radio, where I can get the proper schematic, and other unit info to help me bring it back to life.

Original post:
I have a Philco console style radio probably build in the late 30s or early 40s by Philco Canada. The ID tag indicates Chassis Type 44 Code 121. When I look for info on the internet using this ID, the information I have found relates to Cathedral styles and not the proper chassis layout. When powered on it only hums and all tubes light up.

Items I would like:
When it was likely manufactured.
Schematic.
Tips on how to bring it back to life.

Pictures attached.

Thanks.
