Does anyone have a picture or drawing of the mechanism that holds the lid up on the early (1933) Philco radio/phonographs? Mine is missing something and the lid will not stay open. Thanks.

I just found some photos which a gentleman in Europe recently sent me of an export Philco, equivalent to Model 24 - Model 224. One of the photos shows a closeup of the piece which holds the lid up, I believe.

The 224 uses the same cabinet as your 26.

I'll email the photo to you.
