Big, Bad*s*, and ugly 660L
#32

Got back to work on in and after a lot of grinding, making up many new words, and a little rewiring the new sockets are in.  Arran was correct it is a bit of a pain to do with a lot of grey dust leftover. Got it done the other night but was too tired to power it up to be sure all is ok.
I hope I don't have the same issue with the two 116 I have! I saw a post on the barking dog where someone was looking  for a pair of six pin Philco sockets and an output transformer for a 116B. Glad it's not me, opt get expensive fast! When the socket shorts it shorts the hv though the primary of the opt to the heater pin or to the chassis.
So hopefully I'm down to three more problems to solve. The oscillator coil, shadowmeter coil and still has some excess hum in the audio. Piece of cake!!!!!!!!!!! Ha Ha. All this so I could see the dial light up!! Oh I got a box of #55 bulbs which is the proper for these large dial Philcos. They draw about 3 times what a #47 bulb does and is brighter.
