Trying to identify model number
#1

Greetings folks!  I picked up this Philco at a garage sale for $30 the only problem is I've been searching for the proper model number since the sticker was torn off of this one.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Phorum!

To me it looks like 1937 model, 5 tubes, AC - I'd bet 37-610J.

Hi and welcome,

Are you going to be putting humty dumpty back together again?? Note the to tubes on the right are reversed the 5Y4 goes on the transformer and the 6F6G should be fitted to the chassis.

Service info can be found here: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/209/M0013209.htm
It's a code 121.

Here's one that Kelly went a little crazy on, it's a code 122. The difference being the 5Y4 mount to the chassis rather than the top of the power transformer.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!

I'm going to try or give it a good effort. I'm sure this unit has had previous work done I've been searching for months trying to identify it by pics and schematics so with this new info I've got somewhere to start now.  I haven't touched anything on this unit except wipe the dirt off the tubes I cleaned up the cabinet a bit and added a plexiglass window.

Chassis looks pretty original except that the three filter and mounts have been removed. Replacement tubulars where added ( the two Solar and the one over by the power transformer). You are missing the dial which repros are available and the fastener that holds it in place  It's a bit of an shape but was used for several years so it shouldn't be impossible to find. Along w/the grommets for the sub chassis.
