new topic same radio...................
the philco is located in our master bedroom and the wife mentioned it would be nice if the front lights could be doubled to be used as a night light as well.
the simple way to solve this is to use 120v lamps on the front.
redirect lamp power source upstream upto the fused side of the primary of my transformer.
put in a push button on/off switch there.
with radio off i can control 120v to the front dial glass illumination but not have any additional internal parts energized.
basically the lamps will no longer depend on the 6volt power trasnformer secondary section called "A" on my diagrams.
before i proceed, perhaps someone has already done this before and if so can you share what you did to achieve this.
i considered a few options,, like a six pole slave rlay, and other over complicated over doing it ideas,, i just thought i would ask first here.
