Help with finding replacement tube for philco radio console model # 173
#1

Hello my name is Mike and I'm new to the old Philco radios.
I am trying to restore a console radio with turntable.
I broke the tip off of a tube and now I need to find the right
replacement.So I need some help here is the info I have so far.
Console model # is 1731 numbers on tube are 260-5036 and the tube has 7 pins.
I thank you for any help you guys can provide me.

Hi Mike,

If it's a 51-1731, the info you need can be found at nostalgiaair.org. There is a part placement diagram there.

Welcome!

Does the tube have any marking on it?
What exact model number is it? You gave two different numbers.
If you go to Nostalgiaair.org,

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...013714.pdf

does the chassis look like the one on the drawings on p. 3&4? What position was it in according to these drawings?

As the guys have mentioned the schematic with the tube layout is on nostalgiaair. Resources for various parts etc., can be found in the listing at:
http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showth...?tid=14950


A great source for buying tubes is Bob Dobush at Findatube.com.

Chance of it being a 6AU6   -   66%

Chance of it being a 6BA6   -   33%
