Philco 38-4 My first try at radio restoration
#2

Will I think the first thing to do is pull the 5Y4 and measure between pins 3 and 5 you should have about 600v ac. If you do then your power transformer more than likely OK. If not you will be looking for a power transformer. What you will need to replace it is 120v primary Secondaries HV 600 to 650vac ct @ 90ma 6.3vac @3a 5v@2a. That will give you 250-300vdc.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
