Wow! Nice find! The speaker cloth is in amazing shape as well. I've seen a lot worse tapestries. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

Nice set but not an 87.
When my pals were reading comic books I was down in the basement in my dad's workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to figure out what all those squiggly meant. Circa 1966 Now I think I've got! Terry

Ok I believe a Philco expert. Not enough label left to go by so I was trying ID it based on Ron’s book. What is it, 73 Highboy then or a 73? Help?

I thought you might ask. I'm pretty sure it's a 95.
The 87 doesn't use that large shield across the back. It's setup to use neutralized triodes tubes (#26's). A lot of the chassis are missing the shields, if the tube behind the shield don't have grid caps it's probably a model 87. The 76/77 look pretty much like the 95 but the ant/gnd connect terminals are spaced apart farther. And the tube shield is much shorter. Both the 95 and 76/77 use 24A tetrode tube which do have a grid cap. Think it's the 1st Philco w/avc. Back in those days avc was cutting edge tech on the other hand trf set were old hat '30. https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...chematics/ When my pals were reading comic books I was down in the basement in my dad's workshop.

OK now you got me running back tot garage to look. Removed the shield, one tube left, and it was a #24, three spots all with grid caps. I'm a hobbyist that's trying to make it self supportive LOL. I love doing the work and love the history and I'm always looking to learn from the experts. So maybe it's a 95 and I have to update three separate posts that I sent out LOL. How can, I be sure? I have 50 plus radios now 28 of them Philco's. I keep the ones I like and restore then flip the ones I don't want to help pay for the hobby. LOL the wife is wondering do I really need 5 hobby's.

To answer your question I don't think there is a US model 73. Maybe a in CA or over seas but not here.

Sorry I was a question behind. It could be a 96 as the chassis are all most identical but it's not. Yes it is a 95. There are some circuit differences but the outward one is the spkr plug is smaller on the 96.

The Fall 1929 Philco Radio Gallery has a photo of your model label if you wanted to compare them. If Terry says it's a 95 I'd take it to the bank. Not much this guy doesn't know! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
