So do you have a particular question about it???
It's your basic TRF set using a bunch of #26tubes, 27 det, 71 audio output, and 80 rectifier. Tar filled filter cap can, rf and audio transformers are suspect. http://www.philcoradio.com/images/phorum/schem/511.jpg Don't use electrolytic caps in the p/s mylars are much better in this circuit. Keep the values close to original else you'll ended up w/500v B+ and your radio will hate you!You don't see red ones too often mostly rusty brown ones.
Keep eating those Wheaties!!!!
It's also Bluetooth compatible!!

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

TERRY Ok thanks
I need a good layout of the bottom to see where everything is.. What I have is very Blurry..
Also will need a 71 Tube..I think I have the 26,27 and 80 tubes.. Do you happen to have any 71 tubes laying around?
Did this use all Globe Tubes?
Thanks for the schematic that helps alot...
Ps i just looked and I do not have any 26 tubes either So I will need qty4, 26 and qty1, 71A

Don't think I have any spares.

When new yes but I wouldn't bother w/globes they are more$$ and sometimes unreliable.

Globe or balloon style tubes are a nice feature to have, but not really necessary. I might think about using them in this case since it's a model 514 and not a dead common model 511, still it's not as though you can flip the lid up on a hinge and display the tubes like you can with a Radiola 60, it's still like a steel bread box. I would have a look around in this shed to see if maybe someone removed the tubes for testing and forgot to put them back, you may hit paydirt and save a few $$$.

Ok, The shed is where I took a few members close to me for a little picking.. Where I got this was at a Antique Dealer that I had gotten a few radios from before.. He needed space so I got 21 Radios ( in various states of repair) for 25.00 Thats about 1.20 Per radio.. The 512 was part of that deal.. With Speaker also..
The shed is where I will probably find the tubes as it has hundreds of them..
Here are a couple of pictures of the Shed..

Its been picked thru somewhat so it doesn't have quite this much now..

This is NOT a 514,read Ron's info,511 is Spanish brown,512 is Mandarin red,which is what you have with a 514 power supply cover,513 is Labrador Grey,514 is Nile green-NOT RED,515 is called The Impressionistic and looks to be mostly yellow.
