philco 37-650
#1

Hey all this is my first post and first radio project.I found the problem to do with the drawing and the schematic for the philco 37-650...and then found it on your site,My question is i believe mine is all original so as long as i replace componets where they were ..should it work..assuming it worked from the factory?thanks and cheers Mike

Mike123, hi. provided the set is as it came from the factory your method of replacing individual components one at a time will work. I assume you are talking about resistors and caopacitors. Coils, transformers and other items are not that easy to replace and some ay be damaged. The first task should be to change the filter caps (electrolitic) in the power supply then bring it up with a dim bulb rig. It may be operating. I would not try powering up until the filter caps are changed. PL
