edit update to this post 1- date of 25 april 2017
For the subject line of this thread, during the restoration i found out i would need to be using the 46-1226 code 122 prints.
Code 121 is close, but code 122 are a match BUT,, there are updates to to the code 122 such as some filter cap changes, PM speaker mod and power supply secondary re-wire tasks. THERE IS NO KNOWN print to specifically match code 125,, dont even ask. in order to restore a 46-1226 code 125, you must combine code 122 prints and the updates which will then equal code 125.
5may2017 update= lessons learned- If you obtained a set of prints from Chuck at the philco work bench **and** you are restoring a code 125, ****USE ONLY*** the fold out schematic for rewiring as this iwll accuratly represent the changes pertaining to the V1 7AF7 tube socket updates.
You will recieve a technican repair guide pamplet and that represets the component layouts for an *earlier* radio version.,,, use the pamplet as a guide only but revert to the fold out schematic to work through your troubleshooting or repair.
if questions call scott at 304 772 3411, thats me.
Restoration of a code 125 , 46-1226 in work.
First question,
~has anyone encountered loctal tube sockets being installed bass ackwards?
a couple of mine are that way on v4 and v2. I find it historically interesting that i can see with a magnifying glass the assembly line person actually scratched off the numbers. Everthing is wired per the code 121 diagrams and matches fine if ii simply just reassign pin 5 as pin 1.... LOL.
also, i found a great resource for you all, he is selling everything,,, up in medina ohio. Play things of the past is his company name.
simply read the instructions , follow exactly what he says to do with your order. copy and past "HIS" inventory line into your order.
back to work while i wait for code 125 diagrams from Chuck at the philco work bench site.
