A lovely radio. At least it has a mains transformer, being AC only. Bearing in mind the valve lineup, the circuitry should be quite straightforward, apart from the band switching!

The FM/AM version (Philco Century model 100) looks very similar but is AC/DC using the U series of valves, but no magic eye which can be useful for FM tuning. I have one tucked away somewhere, must get it out for an airing.
