48-482 schematic
#1

I'm working on a 48-482 and I've run into a problem. The only schematic I have been able to find shows a 6SQ7 as the first audio even though all sets have a 7B6 in its place. I have a tube diagram for the 7B6 but it would sure be a help if I had a schematic that shows the 7B6.
Does anyone know where I can get one?

Thanks,
Eric

BTW. The problem is: squeal like feedback when turning up the treble control and with a long wire antenna I can only get one local station all over the dial. Has been re-caped. Tubes and resistors replaced as nec.

Tube data here for 6SQ7, 7B6 and anything else you wish.

Both tubes do the same thing, and often whatever was available was used in production and changes were not always documented.

Thanks Codefox1, The schematic is the same as I have but the tube digrams are much clearer. Everything checks out at the 7B6. I guess it's back to the trouble shooting guide.

There is a factory service manual for this model on this page although it also shows the 6SQ7. It is in DJVU format so you will need a reader.

Thanks Sean, that's the info I have now. I'm looking for something that shows the 7B6.

Eric, AFAIK all the published prints show the 6SQ7, but the only difference is the pin numbers. That said, this weekend when I have some time, I'll pull a working chassis and take some voltage and resistance measurements. Maybe we can pin down the problem that way.

If this link above doesn't work, go directly to NJ7P's website and enter the tube your looking for

The schematic in the Philco Radio Library accessed at the bottom of the Home page shows the 7B6.

Thought I'd point it out, even though the thread is 11 years old!

EagleRiverMike,

Welcome.

I use Bill's (NJ7P) SQL tube database query all the time - it's much easier than getting out one of my tube manuals.

But I should mention this thread is 11 years old, and the OP (original poster) hasn't visited here in nearly two years (I hope he's ok).
