Hey, guys. For all who read my thread about changing resistor values in the Philco restoration forum which morphed into a question of lost B+, the problem turned out to be a short in the 6J8 oscillator/converter tube. BTW this is a Silvertone 6130 chassis which is why I moved this over here. Tube went bad while it was sitting out in the cold in my outside shop. Won't drag through all the details of it, but a new tube seems to have restored things to normal. Thanks again for the responses. Ed

Welcome to the Phorum. The reason the tube broke is probably because of those two gold helmets on top :PRodB — 05:37 PM

I totally agree with your comments. I may consider an AM transmitter instead of a hardwired jack.supertech — 11:23 AM
