I just picked up this Philco model 3650.code 121. I believe that the Canadian model was 3650 and the American model was 650.. Am I correct? It has the shadow meter.
I looked up the schematics on nostalgia air and see the 650, but no code 121. Are the schematics for both radios the same?.
I will have to recap it and do all the necessary things to get it going
so if someone can point me in the right direction that would be a big help. I will also need a knob.Thanks Dan

It's the same circuit as far as I know, I think you could use a 650 code 121 schematic for a U.S built set and it will work. I will have a look in my binder downstairs, it's very likely that the only difference might be the use of a 25 cycle power transformer for some markets.
