Motorboating question for the experts
#2

One of the most common causes of motorboating in an AC/DC radio is an open bypass cap, usually a .22 microfarad one between the chassis and the B- bus. In the case of Philcos this is the big paper cap connected in series with a choke, sometimes made out of wire wrapped around the body of the capacitor. It could also be an open output filter capacitor, or rather the B- connection to same.
