Hello,  I'm in the process of restoring a Philco 46-1201 Bing Crosby Phono/Radio for my mother in law.  Everything has gone extremely well and the radio and phono both work great.  I need of a replacement power switch/volume control.  This one turns on both directions. One way for the radio and the other way for the phono.  The power section has been arcing and I would like to replace it.  The Philco number is 33-5519.  I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thanks,
Frosty

Get in touch with Mark Oppat at https://www.oldradioparts.net/ . He provided a replacement switch for a 1201 I restored a few years ago.

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
