Philco 76 questions
#5

Hi Steve and welcome,

https://philcoradio.com/library/images/schem/76.jpg

Wouldn't use electrolytic caps to replace the foil/ paper in this power supply. The ripple current will cause the input cap at least to short damaging the 80 tube. Just replaced one in my 87 w/a film. Use polyfilm caps they don't care about ripple current. Stick to the noted values of the caps. Increasing the value can cause a significant increase in the hv.

>First, The radio has no volume output.

If the speaker isn't make any noises unplug it from the chassis. Use your ohm meter and measure the resistance between two pins on it plug. Should see less than 4000 ohms any of them. If any two show no resistance then there is a problem.

GL w/your new project!
