See, the model, then go to www.Nostalgiaair.org, go to Philco, put the model in, open the document, locate the tube, locate it in the sch.
Then it could be theorized what it is and why it burnt.
Good radio, could be restored.

PS. OK, seems like a full-wave rectifier tube to me, possibly an 80. Could be just it, bad tube, could be bad electrolytic, but the radio need full recap anyway. And probably a new socket.
Radio is 41-295 or similar.
