Completely disagree (sorry Terry).
Model 265 was made for the UK market. It would have been made to run on 220-240 volts AC as was the UK standard. And if it used a ballast or regulator tube (which I doubt), Philco surely would not have placed it where one of the set's electrolytic capacitors was once mounted.
> as I have not found this model in the Philco Phorum gallery !
Good reason for that - it was not a USA model. The Gallery only contains models sold in the USA; the only exceptions being the "Tropic" models which were built here and then exported. For a sampling of British (UK) Philcos, look here:
