In retrospect, I think that the 121 was correct, based on another person's description of a 125 on this forum. Sorry, but I can't seem to be able to cite it at the moment...

To further complicate matters a bit, it seems that the voice coil was replaced with one of the two resistors in question. I replaced it with a 680ohm, 10 watt and I replaced the other 10W resistor according to the value in the schematic, respectively, though I cannot remember the value now at the computer! Sorry for my vagueness...

In any case, the 680ohm seems to run a bit hot, but I have been listening to it for about 45 minutes now and it continues to run reliably and sounds consistent, aside from a detector with perhaps some dirty pins!

This is a nice radio and 2nd Philco still present. The other is a 1936 whose cabinet is being restored for me at the moment.

Thanks!

Matt
