Hello guy's,
Looking for a replacement tube socket for the 5x4 rectifier tube that is parked on top of the transformer on my Philco 38-116.
Looks like someone has replaced it before with a cheap generic socket.
It is mounted with a couple sheet metal screws located 1 5/16 center to center.
Looks like the 4 wires could use some spaghetti tubing once it is apart.
If I remove the top cover on the tranny, can I gain better access to these wires or are they buried in the coil?
Don't want to dig into it until I have a good socket.
Anyone on the forum have any advise on doing this repair?
Was going to sell this one as I have another already, but no interest on the forum, so, I will fiddle with it when I have spare time.
Thanks,
murf
