Philco Model 116B Tombstone Broken Off Speaker Wires
#1

Hello to all since I am a new member. I just picked up a Philco model 116B tombstone. I am going to restore it. The first thin that has to be done after I have already checked all its tubes and have replaced its filter caps is fix the broken speaker wires on it. I have the radios schematic but it does not show colors of the wire for this radio. Where the wires are off from is the small transformer that is on the bracket on the speaker. All four of the wires are off the four terminals of the transformer. They are the original wires so I know the color of the cloth has faded with age. What they look like to me is white, yellow (?), black with red tracer (?), and a solid red which now looks like a very faded orange. The transformer is good itself. Any help of getting these four wires back in the correct order on the transformers four terminals would help me a lot. Thank you Dave

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
