As for the rectifier i the Grundig....Google "Bridge rectifier", or "diode bridge" they make single piece modern ones labeled the same, or you could just wire up four conventional diodes and have the same thing....

If I knew you wanted to flip the Philco I'd probably told you to think twice since most pre-HiFi consoles are hard to sell RESTORED at the low prices most ask for un-restored examples.
I see. Well Its too late now, I've already bought it so I guess I could just post it on Barter town and see if someone else on here might want it to fiddle around with because I'm kind of stumpped on it as far as trying to figure out why the dial string I just had going is no longer wanting to work, and I even tried restringing it again and still no luck so I really just don't know.
