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 .
 Also , seeing as this thread is a couple of months shy of it's first birthday , I'm betting the OP has long ago made the decision on whether to buy it or not ...... |
I just saw one at the WARC, radio auction. This one was in rather nice condition. It had the Philco record changer with the silly little turntable.
Someone bid on it and snapped it up right away. I don't remember the high bid, Tom C. EM might, as he was there.
The set does have a form of RF stage, using a 7C7 sharp cutoff RF amp and only a two gang tuner.
They are good sounding sets, by virtue of the higher B+. Don't let the fact that it only has a 78 changer. That's where the interest comes in. Those old 78's sound pretty good, when played on a unit like this.
