Philco 95 Lowboy
#5

Sal, a lot of help here and would be nice to know your level of experience in old radios to let us help you. First on your list (mine at least) is to order service documentation to assist you in repair. See the last link on Bob's thread above. This will provide you with all the technical information you need to know about the radio, including revisions on the model and schematics that are easy to read!
Tell us about your ability to read schematics and the "test equipment" you may have. A good volt and ohm meter? How about soldering iron? Skill in soldering? It helps to understand your expertise. Read the above posts from Bob. A lot of information there to help learning should you require it. Believe me this is not rocket science but does require a proper approach to repairing and old radio. Nothing magic just one step at a time. First, as indicated, no more power up on it without some guidance.
Let us know your equipment and experience and we are all here to help. Believe me and in yourself, you can get this radio working, one step at a time. Pictures always help to excite interest from the group and further help.
Good luck, if your willing to learn, this radio will sing.
