Repair Help on 1936 Philco Cathedral Radio
#6

Hi Bill and welcome,

You don't a whole bunch of equipment to do the service work on these old guys. Aside from the normal stuff a signal is very useful to do a proper alignment and testing to see what rf/IF stage is working.

Quick service note on the 60. When installing the tube shield on the 75 tube be sure to keep the grid wire inside the shield. If not it will squeal !!!!!

Here's a little more info on the '60 and you don't have to flip the schematic around.

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 it!
