My name is Bryan and I live in Adamsville, Tennessee. I recently inherited a Model 16 Philco, mfg. in 1935. I have a very basic understanding of electronics, having worked for ITT Telecommunications many years ago. This radio has been in my family since it was bought new by my grandfather. I am going to rebuild it, with the hope of giving it to my only son. I've read all the suggestions about not plugging the set in and understand that all the electolytic and dry capacitors need to be changed and that I also need to check all the resistor values and replace those not within 20% of their values. Has anyone out there rebuilt a model 16? Can anyone tell me the best place to purchace a good schematic and replacemant capacitors? I also want to replace the ac line cord. Again, I'm going to need a great deal of instruction and someone with the patience to describe exactly what I need to do.Any and all info or advise would be gretly appreciated. ...Thanks in advance for everything....TennesseeCherokee..
