Philco 41-608 Problems (HELP) - Guest - 03-18-2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beam of Light phono didnt work after being serviced I tried the a bulb test by placing a bulb on the wires from the chassis it didnt light , then I switched XXL with 7B5 and tried the bulb test again. The bulb lit. Then, I connected the phono arm as instructed and it lit. The problem is the sound is barely audible and the light is very dim. Is that because I switched the tubes?After that the chassis started to smoked did I cause damage. I switch the tubes back and it still smoked. Will this cause any problems with the chassis shorting. The Radio and the phono have been recapped and restored. Any suggestions?

Where exactly is the smoke coming from?

Please look here for tips on your Beam of Light phonograph.
