Picked up a very nice example of a 1940-1 ? made in Canada Philco 53A s radio at a garage sale yesterday. Don't see many radios this era with the cabinets in such good condition. At least ones that are for garage sale prices . Expected to see a field coil speaker but there is actually a rather large 12" speaker that looks like a Jensen. All the tubes are present but I haven't been able to track down a schematic yet.
Will need some TLC for sure.
Here's the tube compliment from left to right:
6J8E, 78, 6J5, 617FG, 6C5, 2 - 48s.
Not sure what's up with the 48s, they're battery radio tubes. As well as the AC cord though there is a cord with a male three-way plug on the end, combined AC/Batt radio?
Yesterday was a good day. Actually picked up some nice vinyl for free as well.
Cheers
