Philco 95 Lowboy
#1

Hello, all. I'm a newbe to the collector's world but have always admired old craftmanship. An electrician by trade, I just rescued this gem from the junk man. It's immaculate, complete, and well taken care of in someones living room for years. I've printed out the schematic to verify that the proper tubes are installed. It seems that the first number is dropped from what is printed on each tube. When I plug in the radio and turn it on, their is no sound. All 9 tubes, except for 1 of the 2 45 tubes light up. I'm"guessing" that means it is bad since the other 45 tube lights up. Also, this radio has 3 24A tubes in place of the 224 tubes indicated on the schematic. Also, a C-327 tube in place of 1 of the 3 227 tubes indicated on the schematic. I've located a source for replacement tubes. I'm looking forward to displaying this radio in my 20's era home, preferably in working condition. Unable to find a user manual of some sort so I can understand the function of the 2 controls on either side of the tuning dial. This is an early 95 lowboy, as it has the wooden cutout grille over the speaker/fabric. Any ideas? Thanks, in advance.
