Philco Model 59
#5

Jerry,
Think I get it. Finished recap job and brought it up slowly using my variac. Just a hum! Bummer! Think I need a 42 and a 80 tube. I know a 42 it tested on bad. The 80 is questionable also. One more question. Should I have disconnected the wire from the black dot and connect the neg ends to it? I just soldered a wire to the connection and connected the e-caps to that.
thanks for the help,
Chris
