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

Ron,

I followed your instructions to the letter, step by step, each stage a progression.

Final step............SUCCESS Icon_exclaim Icon_biggrin Icon_exclaim

It has been playing for an hour now, the main transformer is about body temp, the sound is great, better than before I fried the transformer. The 2 and 4 secondary hook up on the Audio Output Coil must be the right one, I don't know how it could sound better.

It continues to amaze me that one speaker can have so much range, after all this speaker is 68 years old (5 years older than I am)

Now I need to enjoy it and then work on acouple of other items on it. But that can wait for a day or so.

I find it hard to believe I did this Icon_exclaim I was so frustrated at first, but with everyones help I got through it and now have a great radio.

Just in time for Christmas Music Icon_biggrin

I've got acouple of other things I want to do so I will be asking more questions. But for now I am going to take a rest.

THANKS Icon_exclaim Icon_exclaim Icon_exclaim Icon_exclaim
