Hello, I received a radio chassis from a friend. It came with a Philco Model G speaker and I am sure the chassis is a Philco. It has 7 tubes but does not seem to match a Model 511 or Model 86 chassis. I want to restore it to working condition so my kids and grandkids can see how early radios worked. I plugged it in and all tubes lit up except what I think is the rectifier tube (80). The identification tag is mostly gone but I can make out Philedelphia Storage Battery Co. on the very bottom of the tag. Would you help me please identify the chassis. Thank You, Rich Marchese [Image: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP8...FSwGZUWVcl][Image: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNM...vd-G4BDexm][Image: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPr...Z7QM2k2h88]
Even pasting those links into my web browser I am only taken to an error page.
It is possible to get a shared link for a photo from the Google Photos interface:
1. Click share
2. Click 'Get Link'
3. Click 'COPY'
The resulting link can't be embedded as far as I can tell though - it's just a link to your photo in Google Photos that people have to click on. So you wouldn't use them with the

Without seeing photos, the only two early chassis with 7 tubes would be a 76 (73) or 77 (77-A).
73 = 25 cycle version of 76
77-A = 25 cycle version of 77
Edit: Ah, you posted some photos as I was typing. Looks to me like a 76 or 73 - volume control on left, local-distance switch on right. The 77 has the volume control on the right and a four-position tone control on the left (no local-distance switch).
Thank you! Looks like the 77.77.A schematic is closest. A couple of differences which probably don't make much difference. On the output side where is shows two #45 tubes. The one closest to the front of the chassis is a 45 and the one to the rear is a CX345. The #27 tube on the schematic is a #127. The three #24 tubes are there as well as the #80.
I just picked up this Philco chassis , and I don't see any marking on it to determine what model it is.
It has nine tubes with push pull 45s, and an 80 rectifier.
I can post more photos if needed. thanks
