Hello, I found a Philco PT-89. It's a battery set, in very nice shape. Inside it says to use a Philco battery pack P-89. Found a schematic for it at Nostalgia Air, but no voltages given for the A & B plug. Does anybody happen to know what the volts for A & B might be? Thanks - DonIcon_smile

Don,
See the thread at http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/view...hp?t=41751 which speaks to the P-89 battery pack. Chuck, who supplied the info in the post, frequents this phorum as well.
Cheers,
Bob
