I'm preparing an old Philco 16X radio console from 1934 for restoration, which unfortunately is in pretty bad condition, but the worst thing is that I need to find a lot of spare parts. Two control knobs are missing, the scale escutcheon is missing, the scale itself is in very poor condition, the output pentodes of type 42 also have weak emission... But the biggest problem is the field coil on the speaker is broken.

. I have little hope that I will be able to repair it... It seems that this project will be too expensive for me, but I really want to buy this radio that they gave me to restore.
Can someone help me buy these spare parts?

Michael, this is one of the five radio consoles from Canada from my companion that I received for restoration and that I have already written about here somewhere. It is this Philco that I plan to buy back as compensation for the restoration services provided. Thanks for the link.
