Philco 71B Code 125 with Shadow Meter Info
#16

OK, I've seen a couple of pictures of Code 123 chassis, which have individual shields around the RF tubes, plus a shield around the first AF tube. One also had a shadow meter plus a socket for the speaker wires, whereas the Code 125 is hard wired (no socket and plug).

Since the shields were in place, I could not see the ring at the bottom, but I can confirm that one radio that was missing the RF shields did have the rings around the RF tubes, meaning it was designed for individual shields.

Still looking for a Code 125 chassis to confirm.

The shield in this picture would just rattle around my tube with nothing to hold on to, or ground to.

Also, here, looking like another Code 123 from what I can barely read if i zoom in on the label. One picture shows the rings on the chassis where the RF tube shields are missing.

Still looking for a Code 125 like mine, or a shield that will hold to the tube without rattling around because of no ring on the bottom.

"Why, the tubes alone are worth more than that!" (Heard at every swap meet. Gets me every time!)

Philcos: 90, 70, 71B, 610, 37-61 40-81, 46-420 Code 121 to name a few.
Plus enough Zeniths, Atwater Kents and others to trip over!
