Philco Model 41-296X with 41-285 modified chassis
#6

How do I test that 84/6Z4 ?

Also, be absolutely sure those electrolytics are connected properly! I was informed the end of the Capacitors with black rubber covers and the groove were the positive ends and the Negative end is marked with an arrow, so those ends were hooked to the 2 red wires and the blue wire, with the negative ends connected to the respective black wires, is that correct? Is wire length important, can it vary a little when replacing, and wire size 16G OK or best to use 18 & 20?

Your 41-296 does not have a 41-295 chassis The Philco site says "This is an interesting set. It uses a 41-285 chassis mounted in a modified 41-295 cabinate." That is where I was confused in my last post, when I ordered I used the 41-285 as reference, not the cabinate reference. Sorry

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
