Hello,

I found this thread while looking for information on Philco 71 code 125.
I don't know much about this set, as I'm quite knew to vintage radios. Long story short, a friend of mine, who's an accomplished cabinetmaker,
wanted to try his hand at radio cabinet restoration, so I pulled this from storage.

I'll give it to my buddy next time I see him, the idea is that he'll work on the cabinet and I'll work on the chassis.

I just thought that some of you might be interested in images of what appears to be 71 code 125.
As you see, the radio has been modified, I don't know who worked on it, but judging by this effort it has been done
by someone not interested in craftsmanship.

These are the remnants of the old speaker

The radio powers up, hums, but doesn't play. Since I'll have to work on it, I have a couple of questions:

1. Do you know where to get the schematic for it? I looked in the usual places, to no avail.
2. What would be a proper speaker for it? Perhaps a K-7?
3. I looked for this exact cabinet in the gallery, but did not find a match. Close, yes, exact, no.
What would be the year of manufacture?

I'd much appreciate any comments you might have,

Thank you,
Michal.
