New to this forum and new to vintage Philco. Recently picked up a 41-287 that worked. Proceeded to recap completely, and radio sounded good so I decided to redo the resistors also. After turn on, radio had sound for a few
seconds and then silence. Looking at the 84 rectifier tube saw the plate turning red and I shut down power. After checking for a obvious short ,and not seeing one from my resistor re-do I am stumped. The input filter cap used was a 10mfd ( 8mfd per the schematic) that was around and not sure of its age. If a new resistor was wired in error, could this cause the rectifier to overload? Any suggestions would be appreciated,so thanks in advance.[/b]
