Philco 38-116
#1

This is the first one of these I've worked on. Everything now works fine. Minor question is how many flood lights are there supposed to be? This set has three, two across the lower section of the dial and one above it, off to one side. Schematic seems to show only two. Since the set had previously been badly hashed, I'm suspicious. Thanks for looking.
#2

If this set is anything like 37-116 (I think it is) the latter has 4 flood lights. I am not counting the band lighting lense light.
Two on the top, right-left and two of the same on the bottom.
#3

Thanks Morzh. I looked at the 37-116 schematic and can see the four floods plus the pilot and the shadow meter lamp. Several small differences between the 37-116 and the 38 (of either code).
There are two places to mount floods above the dial center area. Guess I'll just go with the three.
#4

Those mounts are flat wide protrusions going left and right, correct? If there are only two, then yes - two floods.

As for shadow, I have Delux which does not have the shadowgraph.
#5

The two lower protrude left and right. The two upper point fwd.(away from the set) .
#6

Also the harness itself should be a tell-tell sign, it has a plug and then it is wired to all the sockets. In my case it is 4 sockets in one harness with a plug. If you have your harness the answer is right there.
#7

No plugs, the three leads are connected directly to the mag tuning switch/flood light switch. the switch had been broken and wired so the lights were always on, the AFC shorting section was distorted so it never made contact.
#8

Yeah...this one is the fun part.
