• Notes
• The Philco model 39-19 exists at least as models 39-19F, (not 39-319F), 39-19PA, 39-19PCS, 39-19PF, 39-19PT and 39-19T, all code 121-122. The field coil of the loudspeaker is 1700 ohms. With only 5 tuned circuits it is a cheap superhet. The Canadian schematic shows only a model 39-319 but maybe the suffix AF for the 39-319AF is for a certain cabinet. It seems that the Canadian model(s) have an IF of 460 kc (some tubes have the suffix E) and the USA models of 470 kc. In Canada, this model is 319-AT.
