Philco Model 20 1930 Lowboy
#24

I had a chance to pull the chassis and it looks pretty good. there are a few very minor rust spots. Somebody has replaced the inter-stage transformer with a Thoradson 20A17 transformer. So much for being all original! I'll have to do some research to see if the transformer is a good replacement or not. It really sticks out like a sore thumb. I gave the coils a quick look and they looked good. I didn't ohm them out though.
