Philco T 760 tube configuration
#1

Good Morning everybody. In the past days I bought a Philco Tropic marketed as model T 760, year 1942. Unfortunately, I don´t have the tube configuration for replacing them. The radio is working, but I want to have a tube stock for the future. Thanks a lot. Nallo 69

Don't any of the tubes still have their type markings? Just make a list and a diagram of where they go.
If some of the tubes are "cleaned off" and you cant get a number off them, try huffing your breath around the glass portion.
Best to chill the tube in the fridge for 5-10 mins first to help create the fogging effect.

Thanks for your answer Chuck. I´ll try to do what you say. By the way, at your question, any of the tubes has it´s mark, they are quite old, so the task will be hard.

The model number should be 42-760T
