The Riders volume #16 schematic , hosted at Nostalgia Air , most certainly DOES indicate the 7C7 tube to be an RF amplifier section ahead of the first detector . A two second glance at the schematic is all it will take to see that .

Well then I wonder why the people on Audio Karma told me this thing DIDN'T have an RF Section and that it more than likely wasn't worth my time fussing with if it had a dead tuner?
But whatever I've already given up on trying to fix up mine because even after replacing the suspected dead IF Can with another IF can from another similar model radio it still didn't work and even the replacement IF can was a dud (even though the person i bought the IF can from said it was pulled from a working Philco radio) so I suspect that Philco had a bad batch of IF Cans back in the day and because of that a lot of the Philco radios from the late 1930s and early 1940s all ended up with dead tuners over time which is why there aren't many Philco radios from that time period left anymore.
