46-1201 Code 128 BING is making me crazy!!
#1

I am restoring a philco 46-1201 code 128. I acquired it from eBay on the cheap and when I got it I realized that the previous owner had placed the tubes in the wrong sockets. Needless to say, it looked like someone put a campfire on the 50A5 socket.  I have replaced all out of tolerance (and fried) resistors and every cap. Checked, re-checked and checked again, all the wiring (replacing the ones that got cooked). I then replaced the tubes with known good ones.
I am now getting sound out of it but at a very low volume. 
Can anyone offer me a clue as to where this problem might be?
I'm starting to think the problem lies in the IF transformers.
Just say the word and I can give more info...

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