That is correct for the 50X6 Set. But on this one 50Y6 with no choke (the resistor model) set as it took me a few weeks to find out. They swapped the values on the antenna. This really screwed me because at the same time as I rewired it to match the schematic I had I was swapping out an open 2nd IF transformer. You don't get reception with them swapped so I thought it was somthing with the IF transformer that was the problem. Then one day I cannot remember how I shorted the 35 ohm that I had on my loop to ground and I got radio.... Then I researched a bit and found out that my model flips the 36 ohms and the 1.2 ohm taps. The loop goes to the 1.2 ohm and the external goes to the 36 ohm tap and the cap. I put it back to original and voila,,, it picks up stations like an S.O.B... I thought it looked original before I messed with it. "But the schematic said......"

This guy had the same problem. I guess you cannot assume you have the right schematic with Philco even though you have the same model. There can be variations..

Thanx for the part about the ACDC radio though.
