Thank You for adding me to the Philco Phorum I have already learned quite a bit (for a novice) about the Philco 40-190
Yes I got the bug and purchased a 40-190 Philco Radio. I have already done some cosmetic work such as refinishing the cabinet, replace the fabric etc. I love it and have a great respect for the era. I can just hear the old radio shows and news as folks gather around to listen. Now on to the chassis repair. I know I should replace all the capacitors and I have purchased a schematic (thanks to reading the Phorum).
I was wondering if anyone out there may have some "close up" pictures of the bottom of the chassis showing parts, wiring? I believe someone got to this before me and used the wrong resistor/capacitor values as well as soldering to the wrong terminals etc. Things do not seem to be where they are suppose to be or they are even missing. I been following the schematic and that certainly helps but some pictures would give me a better comfort level.
I started confirming the transformer works but I really think they connected it to the wrong terminals. I also have the same feeling about some of the capacitors and resistors.
Thank you again for adding me to the Phorum. Its been a great fun project so far.
best wishes
Dave
