Need Help to ID this radio 11 tube Philco
#1

Hi Everyone,
New member but have been reading this for awhile for tips!
Vaccum tubes were before my time so bear with me on my ignorance!
I'm just an old DeVry Phoenix grad from the beginning of the digital age. We had to fix everything back then.
I worked for Fairchild Systems and then 42 years Tech Service for same company. Systems and industrial controls.
I just completed a 46-350 and it got me interested again in doing a Tombstone I was given many years ago.
It was barn/shop find and had a few things living in it.
I don't know how to ID the model number since the label part with model # is torn off.
It is a 11 tube Philco.....By looking at the components I'm guessing mid or earlier 1930's?
I enclosed pictures of the cabinet, dial and labeled the tubes I could get to without disturbing the brittle wires.
It's not to bad underneath, has been worked on - (1960"s)? a couple caps/components replaced. 
I can't read some values because they black taped Caps together and paper on Cap's is peeling off with tape. So I will need to locate a schematic.
I have never put power to it. It will need some work before that happens.
As you can see that 1 of the #8 tubes top wire is broken off and It's missing one of the knobs
Dial has 4 scales. Darn thing weighs about 40 lbs.
If anyone can point me in the right direct I will really appreciate it!
Thanks
Ken
