I just got my 46-1209 Philco radio console back from the repair shop. It worked well on AM, but there was nothing on SW. Is that normal today? I haven't used SW since the 70s, so I don't know if it is still active. I was really enjoying the sounds from this radio as I broadcast my own program from my ITunes via an AMT 3000. So after playing it for an hour Saturday night, I turned it off. In the morning I went to turn it on, and there was no power. I made sure there was power coming from the outlet. My repairman says he only replaces caps and resistors that are bad and leaves the rest, so I guess a cap or resistor could have suddenly failed. There was no smoke or anything. It's just dead. I know you can't troubleshoot it here, on the forum, but can anyone tell me who the major suspects are: transformer, speaker coil, resistor, etc and what percentage of the time they are the culprit? Thanks, Marc.
