Hey Ron
I attached a pic from another source what mine looks like. I think it's Identical except for the semi hidden electrolytic at the bottom of the pic. You can also see the 2nd IF Transformer on the bottom right which looks kinda like a side ways bell. The top left is the capacitor block with the five caps bundled inside. It's been suggested to replace it but the information I got from a philco site for that part recommends voltages in the 2,000 range, can 630 volts be used?
I would send you a pic of mine but I have replaced a few resistors and a many bad wires, it would get confusing.
I also attached the schematic that comes close to what my unit looks like under the chassis.
Does that shadow meter act very similar to those magic eye tubes?
I prefer to replace the speaker so that somewhere down the line it could be serviced again without all this fuss.
