Restoration of a Philco 46-1203
#7

Icon_rolleyes Hi Texas Rocker,

Thanks for your response and all the ideas you gave me. That fact of the matter is I shot myself in the foot on this one.

When I was replacing caps, I cut out the .2uf cap with the wire wrapped around it. I thought when I was cutting it out, "boy this sure has alot of leads coming out of it?" Well two of the leads were a filament wire embedded and through the wax at the bottom of the cap. So, Icon_redface I cut the filament wire going from 7c6 to 7b7 without knowing it. After days of studying the schematic, I noticed there was no filament connection between those two tubes. I don't know how many tubes were affected, but as soon as I hooked it back up I had it made in the shade. I just retuned the IF frequency that I had all messed up and It was ready to go back in the console for finalizing alignment.

It seems so simple now that it's over but it had me stumped for days and days.

Just looking for a needle cartridge for the phono and that set is officially restored Icon_biggrin
