New Acqusition Philco 21
#5

Yeah that's the one from epay. Haven't got it up and running as it needs a bunch of work. Anybody rewound a field coil from a K type speaker? What size wire? and how many pounds will I need? I did a quick measurement from the grid caps to ground and from B+ to the plate pins of the 24'A tubes all measured open. Is the coil winding data around?
All I've done so far is just a few measurement and a general cleaning. Thought I might pull the 80 and fire it up to see what filament voltage I have on the output tube sockets. Seems like I could have 5.0v if it's an early job and I wouldn't want to waste a good pair of 45's if it doesn't have the required 2.5v.
Will keep you posted.
