Philco 49-1002

Found this one at an Estate sale Friday for $20. I don't really collect anything older than the late 50's, but had to get this one! I first saw this model in the book "A Flick Of The Switch" that I purchased in 1975. (Thought it was an interesting set at the time), and tried to locate one for about the next ten years, then gave up and forgot about it.
After replacing an open 4-section 'lytic, and cleaning several tube sockets, the set powered up with a great picture and clear sound as well. It had been sitting unused since the 60's only occasionally being powered up as the owner was a collector.
Ok, here's the bad part.. He was a tinkerer and replaced the tuner in the 50's. The set is all original and complete except that.
I don't know much about these, but didn't they originally have an 8 position three tube tuner? The one in there now has positions 2-13.
Can anyone fill me in on this, and where I might find an original to install?
