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?

Where did you get this one from?

I have restored same exact 16X about 2 years ago, the thread is here.

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.

Peter;
Are you certain you wouldn't like the Deforest Crosley instead? It's probably the most "Canadian" of the radios this fellow brought you? I'm sure that the parts will come up for the 16X, or is it a 316X given the Robertson screws in the cabinet? I think that the field coil for the speaker could be rewound if you could not find another, though I'm sure there is another out there, Philco used the same speaker in a number of consoles, "H" series I think they were called. The pole piece in that speaker is pressed in, so it could be pressed out, the bobbin removed, and the field coil rewound or repaired.

Thanks, Arran. Very interesting information about the speaker, I will definitely try to disassemble it if it has a collapsible design. As for the De Forest Crosley ... Yes, it is the most beautiful of the five and I would gladly choose it. But I already have a difficult choice between the RCA Victor 262, Philco16x and the De Forest Crosley. I suspect that I will not be able to choose and will be forced to buy all three.
But considering the cost of delivery to Ukraine, it will be a very expensive pleasure. And considering that I am already retired and do not have any business, it will be difficult to do.
