Here is the schematic:

Good luck with it. |
Thanks!
Yeah, it's pretty heavy - especially with the back on it. That's a heavy wood frame with a shaggy cloth inside that covers the speaker chamber. My friend and I had to carry it up two flights of stairs
I've been going back and forth about those tubes. I really, really love those early globe tubes and having a full set of '32 vintage Philco tubes would be incredible. However, I've been checking prices on those on eBay and they don't come cheap. So it certainly is tempting to sell them individually
The set was only missing one 39 and an 80 type. I've already tracked down replacements. All the other tubes test good
I scored the set a few blocks from the address on the label from 1936!
