Philco 37-116 lights
#1

Hello again Philco fans,
Brought home a 37-116 yesterday and it seems someone removed all the lights but the main one on top of the dial.
I know 2 of the lights are mid dial and are illuminated on the regular frequency I will call it.
Then there are the 2 mounted on the lower part of the dial that illuminate when the magnetic tuning is turned on.
I see that the lower set is probably driven off a female plug that is still there.
With limited schematics skills available, I want to make sure I re-wire correctly.
Can anyone provide a sketch of how these lights are wired?
I will go thru the cartoons and try to figure it out, but I want to make sure I am reading them right.
After going thru all the problems with the 38-116, I swore that I was done with that chassis.
Then I got a phone call and an offer to sell me this one cheap. Cabinet is real nice, so I bought it.
Guy had a 38-116 in nice shape that needed electronic restore as well for $150, but I have one of those already, so I brought home the 37-116.
Will be needing some advice on the E-caps on this one for sure. It has a bunch.
Will be needing a new dial for this one if anyone knows of a supplier.
Thanks,
murf
