Philco Model 86
#65

Ok flip on it's back and find the 26 tube that is the closest to the 27 tube and the rf coils, not the one by the 71A's. Take your nice long antenna wire and clip it to pin 3 of the 26. Tune the set around and see if you can pick up a station or two. If you can leave the dial tuned to it and move the antenna wire to the next 26 tube going towards the connector. Station should get louder. When you find the one that doesn't that's the stage that need a look at and probably a coil problem. If you can't get a station a the 26 closest to the 27 look at #16 for a bad winding.

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!
