It's Kirk's. Dunno what the radio model is (small white clock radio).
Need the sch or at least the IF value.
When clock disconnected seems to receive but very whistly and howly.
Also the 12BE6 pentagrid is very weak.

Surfaced up here before.

Kirk gave me two 12BE6 that are strong.

Well, here's some. Although there are some mistakes there.
http://www.introni.it/pdf/Radio_diagrams_1955.pdf
I found some in DjVU format but cannot get back on that website - forgot what it was. The same manual though.
The 720 is said to have the same sch with
C580 or C716. While the PCB does look the same format-wise, it only has 4 tubes and ours has 5 tubes.
However C-722 sch does look similar, 5 tubes with the 12BE6 pentagrid and clock connection.
Could be it!

Everything I find on the web on 720 shows the wrong sch although with the same size/format PCB. It is a 5-tube radio and 720 is listed with the rest of 4-tubers.
Actually even in Sam's Photofact here

OK, well, hopefully the sch is right of what I have found for C-722.
Not tonite though.

OK, you dummy.....
It is a Philco D730.

And this is the sch.

I converted it to PDF.
PS. And, yes, I was right before: the C-722 schematic is practically the same (minor differences) and the tube line-up is the same.
