Philco 116X in a 116 Tombstone cabinet
#4

Hi Doug

Glad to know the package arrived OK.

No rush on what you're sending down here. Icon_smile You're lucky if you're having good weather lately. Cold, rainy and miserable is how the weather has been here the last few days. I think it will be better this weekend, though. I don't blame you for doing as much as you can outside before it gets too cold to do so. A '41 Cadillac is certainly a worthwhile project indeed. Good luck with yours!

I found a photo of an Emerson DS-365 at the Alternative Radio Forum.

Very interesting. Indicators on the dial not only for the slide rule tuning, but also for the volume and tone controls. And 6L6 outputs for an AM-only radio.

Philco only used 6L6 tubes in a few of their prewar models. The 38-116, 38-690, 42-1016 and (I think) the 42-1015. I can think of two postwar models that used 6L6 tubes; the 48-1274 and 48-1276. All consoles, and all but the first two are radio-phonographs. I recall exchanging a few emails with someone a while back, who was going to modify a 116X chassis to use 6L6 outputs. I don't think he ever told me how it turned out, though.

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
