Your set looks to have been a hack job, just like a Philco 46-806 I got years ago and never attempted to restore. Someone before me installed a transformer to replace a probably unobtanium ballast tube, so they could continue to run it off their 230VAC lines. They also hacked in (actually fairly neatly) an octal socket for a loctal one that held the rectifier tube. So they could use a 35Z5 instead of the loctal equivalent. Same with the audio output, now a 35L6. Loctals must have been unobtanium, or maybe someone had the octals on hand... They soldered in the octal socket chassis mounting ears to the chassis. Must have been eons ago, as the solder is well corroded gray, like the chassis. And then there was some badly done replacement electrolytic caps. Internal wiring does look to have been abused with high heat. Said power transformer had been soldered to the chassis... Think this radio came from Peru when I got it off ebay. According to
http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1946a.htm#16 this set is similar to Philco's 42-706 and it does look to be, except for a 14J7 instead of a 7a8 for the converter. You inspired me to restore mine, should be an adventure to restore it...
