Hey Guys,

My next radio project is a Philco 511.  Thanks to Ron's wonderful website I was able to date this radio to 1928.  It's a Spanish Brown Case, sadly no speaker.

I plan on using a pair of Circa 1915 Baldwin Type C headphones as there is a jack on the escutcheon to accept headphones.  Will a pair of Type C Baldwin headphones work for this receiver???  How would I figure out if these headphones would work. 

I already have the parts for restoration, but I am stumped on the main Filter block ( Part #3108 )  I am trying to discover the values within.  I was not able to find this part number on the Philco Repair Bench Site.  Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Jon
