1935 Philco 45C "Butterfly"
#39

Well, I did some investigating. I thought the problem was either in the audio section, or the main filter dual capacitor. It turned out to be the dual neg common from the filter cap. The solid wire was broken inside the insulation. I just didn't see it or notice it while going over everything. Icon_redface  (A pic is included in the following video.) New replacement wire is now in, and she sprang to life.  Icon_thumbup While uploading this to YouTube, I performed an alignment by ear, and both bands are performing nice and strong. Icon_thumbup
