Philco 84b confusion
#1

What looked like a routine restoration on a Philco 84b has gone wrong; not because of a lack of information, but an abundance, with lots of contradictions. Had it working briefly with new filter caps and rebuilt 28 and 9 capacitor blocks. Between the 24 and 29 blocks something happened. That’s when I dug myself deeper between schematic discrepancies and dumb mistakes. The radio is silent and drawing.5 amps at 90 volts. I’ve checked out a half dozen wiring photos and no two are the same.  Any past experience or plan of action to move forward will be appreciated. Thanks! Rob Q.
