Hi Claude and Ron,
The plot thickens!
Agreed that the 265 was a UK set and was designed to operate from 240vac mains.
I thought I had a link somewhere to some UK Philco diagrams but couldn't find it. But low and behold the 265 is listed in Rider's! After studying a bit I did find some clues about this set. It only use one of the rear opening for a filter cap a dual 8mfd the other hole is empty. On the parts list it shows the 265 using a power transformer w/a 115vac primary. The regulator doesn't look like a factory install but maybe an after thought. Did France use 115vac?

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
