Philco 89 - what do I have?
#1

I am working on restoring a Philco 89B Cathedral. The chassis is marked code 123. But this set uses a type 36 converter, and not a 77! The tube chart on the cabinet also says type 36. Even more weird, this set has a bandswitch, BUT it is only two position and does NOT have the power switch. The power switch is on the volume control.

I have the service notes for the model 89 as well as the 89 Code 123. I have also read through all the changes in Riders.

There must have been some runs or changes not documented!

Makes it a bit difficult. At least this is the ONLY 89/19/32 I have seen with all the COILS GOOD!

On another note, the tube chart calls for GLOBE 44's, 80, and 42! I have NEVER seen a globe 42 or 44.
