Philco Model 732
#1

Hello all,
I am new to the forum and I'm not even sure if I should be here...
I am in New Zealand where the Philco model numbers are not the same as the USA ones.
Nevertheless, I'm hoping that someone may be able to point me in the direction of a schematic for a Philco Model 732 (S/No: 14053)
Valve Lineup: 7B7, 7A8, 7B7, 7B6, 5Y3, 6V6
Broadcast plus 4 SW bands covering 49M to 16M
Perhaps there is a USA model which has the same lineup and I might glean some clues from that.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks!

Hi and Welcome!
Sure you can be here! It maybe a big help to post a picture of your set. Or you could take a look in the Gallery to find it.

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

Hello Terry,
Thank you for your encouraging words!
I will take some more shots tomorrow of the "innards", but here it is as I received it.
Also, I may be a wee bit slow, but how do I access the Gallery?

Based on some information found it was made in 1947 by Philco New Zealand. Sets for Philco New Zealand appeared to be manufactured by Dominion Radio & Electrical Company (DRECO). Other than this information I'm not able to find much unfortunately... I'd say based on cabinet design alone it looks most like a model 46-132 but it's not the same since the US model is AM and it appears only one SW band.
