Canadian Philco Model 706A (46-1201, 47-1201, 48-1201)
#2

Hello Aaron. Since your turntable motor wont do on 25-30 cycles, anything would be worth a try I suppose? Ive tossed more orig Philco phonos than Id ever like to admit also. If I still had one, I could spare you a good 60 cycle motor indeed!Ive run across several Canadian made Philcos myself, and even the Canadian 25-40 cycle all AC sets transformers ran much "hotter" than usual, after extended time on 60 cycles. Its not supposed to "matter", but I noticed it several times in the past. It took those vintage 25-40 cycle AC trans awhile to heatup, but lordy-mercy,they got there indeed! I swapped em out for 60 cycle trans that I had in backstock from other old sets. Bet you can find a 60 hz motor for it!! I still see lots of Philco consoles in junk-shops these days with orig 60 cycle type turntables still attached.There out there!! Icon_wink

I'm not sure why that wire wasn't covered in the video. I'm pretty sure the 6A8 won't work until that pin is grounded. Y...RodB — 09:47 PM

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM

Maybe this is starting to make some sense in my hard head.  Is this why the wire in question was not in the great Ron Ra...georgetownjohn — 04:34 PM
