53-956 Philco
#4

Hi Rick
Methinks I see the problem. Your using the parts layout diagram to check the wiring on the diagram. Doesn't work that way. The layout doesn't have all of the connection that are on the diagram. Gonna have read the diagram to see what's what.
Typically all of the schematic for a given set are the same because they come from the manufacture. They're  copied by Riders, Beitman or an other outfit. The exception is Sam's they would redraw and renumber everything. For the most part they are neater than the originals and list universal replacement parts. Does make it difficult to follow if your trying to follow a long using two different schematic. Sam's start at 1946 so nothing before that.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
