Bill,
Thanks you for the reply. The power section of the radio appears OK now that I have
replaced the filter and buffer caps. B* at 250 volts solid until I connect to the tuner. Since I removed all
tubes, the partial short is somewhere in the passive elements. I suspect the IF because of the red X
marked on the can, probably by some past repair guy. I'm not sure how to check the IF transformer.
Guess I'll try a digital ohmmeter to see if the primary is shorted to the secondary. Thanks for
the Delco vs Philco tip. I assumed since the four 50 & 51 Stude radios I previously fixed were Philco, that
this one was also. I'll check around more this weekend regards the shield short possibility.
