Starting on the Philco 610 from 1936
#12

"So there is no 5 volts for the filament of the rectifier..."

I know this sounds like I may have just gotten my connections mixed up, Chas, . . . but I measured 332 volts for the filament voltage.  I'd like to think the 4 volts I measured was the filament , and the 332 was the other half of the high voltage winding, . . . . but I don't think I mixed it up.  ;-(    And I did measure no continuity across the filament pins of the rectifier tube, .....surely  that 332 volts cooked it.   Icon_sad

But I'm beginning to  feel I should start all over again.

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM
