philco pt2
#10

Yeah !!! Hey guys its WORKING !!!!
I found a bad solder joint at the off/on volume control and the 7C6 tube had gone bad. Luckily I had another one to replace it. I hooked up the loop antenna from another radio to the pT2 since I don't have an antenna for it. It sounds kind of tinny with high treble but I can get several local stations on it . But I guess you can't expect too much from a 75 year old speaker that's been patched a few times. No telling when was the last time it actually worked. Anyway, its always a thrill to hear an old relic like this come back to life. Thanks for all your help . You are a great bunch of experts.
