hi every body
first...thanks for allowing me to register in the philco phorum.
i just bought a philco transitone tropic model 3010-123... and being more than 70 years old radio there
is some rust and a lot of dirt.
i looked for a schematic for it but unfortunately i could not find one.
the thing is because of the 70 years old dirt i can not read some of the resistors values and almost all the paper caps. apart from the electrolytic one which original philco.
i would be very grateful if any body can help me with that and since no schematic is available i was thinking
that may be somebody have a better shaped radio and provide me with photos of the radio that might help me to know the values of the caps. and the resistors.
there is something else....i checked radiomuseum.org. and the tubes on that web site seems to be different from what i found in the radio...in my radio the tubes are 12be6,6bj6,35w4,50c1 nad the fifth is not clear
whether its 12av6 or ????? the only visible writing is 12a...
forgive my ignorance but i'm just a hobbyist...thanks again
N.B
a photo of the radio is attached which i found on radiomuseum.org
much obliged
