Hi Jon and Jerry
I didn't take any pics but it really wasn't that exciting. Found a bad resistor, had drifted to double it original value. It was the det. plate load resistor was about a meg. Replaced the under the chassis caps one gave me a run for my money. Bottom line one of the terminals was used as a tie point not a connection to the actual cap. The way it was wired it didn't make any sense.Drove me nutz for a half hour or so trying to figure out what the heck that cap was in there doing! Found a parts pic location that listed it and then everything came together. Here's a pic of it from epay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Philco-Receiver-...462491bd01
So now it's all back together and working well but does have a little distortion in the audio. Need to check the tubes and in a hurry I replaced the det tube (24A) w/a 35 which may be the issue.
Tnx for your interest!
