Philco 60B Dial Scale Help
#4

Thanks for the replies.  First Jeff, I have a code 121 but it is well documented, including the Philco Forum Library, that the code 121 had various runs with poor documentation.  Further I found in the library this documented change: 

"January 1, 1935:

Dial scale changed from Part No. 31-1090 to a larger scale, Part No. 31-1472. Model 60 sets received a new, larger escutcheon at this time to accommodate the larger dial scale."

The problem here is these part numbers do not match to anything.  All of the 6 reproduction scales always have the format 27-5XXX.  I also have a 3rd style, version 2 radio with original dial part number 27-5024 printed on it.  It definitely is smaller as I slid the chassis in the cabinet of my project and the scale fills only half of the window.  If you have any reference of the 31-1472 part number to a 27-5xxx format, it would help.

Jim - yes, planning to contact the Radiola guy today.  The history documents that they increased the font of the SW band to that of the BC band.  His 27-5082 appears to be that way.  My original 27-5024 scale has small font on the SW band and large on the BC.  

With a little more research and help, we can figure this out.  Wish I had some remnant of the original but nothing there except eyelets with a little plastic under them.

Dave
