Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#5

Terry,

This is all good stuff.  I did a little exploring on my lunch hour today and looked under the chassis.  Looks like there is a point on a terminal strip in the vicinity of the volume control which has a direct connection to what I believe is pin 6 of the 7C6 and the connection point you mentioned above (I need to look at it more closely tonight).  Based on the schematic it appears this is plausible.  If that’s the case, I have an easy connection point to where I need to be once I get to the point of aligning (definitely a ways off there).  I found that the 1941 RMS Yearbook has a nice tube chart and pin diagrams for all of the tubes which will be very helpful as I test and troubleshoot as well.

This is all fun stuff, just a cool little puzzle that I get to put together and learn as I go!
