Hello, I'm new to the Philco Phorum. I purchased a turntable / radio cabinet and there was no manual in the cabinet or wiring diagram. It looks as though someone in the past has "played" with the wiring and it is well, a mess. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of where to find a manual or wiring schematic for one of these units.
 Thanks for any help you can offer.

Rob

Hi Rob and welcome,

You might try and see if you can find separate numbers for each chassis if it has tuner/amp/turntable. This could make it easier to find any listings. The US built and CA built don't share the same manuals or electronics most of time. I did take a quick look around and didn't see any on your set.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
