My 71 I got a few months ago. Its a basket case. At some point it has been worked on and a lot of hacking went on. I have been working on it for about a week just trying to make heads or tails of what goes where.

I have found a couple schematics (Including yours Ron), and a parts list. I find it odd that there really isnt much in the way of parts lists and diagrams in the Rider books like most of the Philcos have. Was the 70 series kind a off the wall model or something?


Here is a few pics.

There is a lot of good to this radio also. The trans ohms out good, the OSC coil has continuity, on all legs but one winding which I'm not sure what it does as it appears not to be the osc but its not open it just reads about 11k hoping I can resolder the connections to fix that. Also most everything is here and I have a couple Mershon caps on the way.

I had the speaker reconed by Hank check it out:
