Another Philco 38-690 question
#3

Chuck Schwark Wrote:You may have an electrolytic wired with incorrect polarity causing excess current draw.
There is at least one filter cap on the audio output grid bias circuit that has POS to ground.
IIRC, there is another that has its NEG side connected to the HV center tap and NOT ground.
(Working from memory here...)

Also, it may be partially shorted internally, making it a much smaller resistance value than it should be causing excess current draw.
Check DC resistance against schematic/service bulletin to compare.

Chuck,
thank you for comment.
I checked e-caps and their polarity. All is correct.
The filed coil itself is not a problem, it has correct resistance, and if you change the tweeters, another one gets hot, so the problem must be somewere else.
