Philco Radio Identification
#1

I have a Philco radio cabinet style is like the 630X or 640X in the Philco Gallery. Schematics are very similar with notable exceptions. First of all, my radio has only two Bakelite Condenser blocks. Schematics have 3.  The wire wound resister #70 on the schematic has a 10uf cap in parallel with it. This radio does not have a cap in parallel with it. Without listing them all there are several other differences.  There were no stickers on the cabinet and the only one I found in the cabinet was illegible. Except for tow, all the caps have Philco part numbers on them. Two are Sprague - looks like old ones. This radio does not seem to have been worked on in decades, one tube was a replacement tube. The chassis has a number stamped on the back D16098 and a number printed on the front 927 47 O.K.
