My Philco 38-7 Console Project - Electronic Questions
#10

Aha!  Now that I understand about CT transformers and paid closer attention to the faded/yellowed wires, it makes more sense.  [A section of the casing on the CT wire is broken and wire is exposed...not a good sign.  Old stuff is so brittle!]  I had a CT reading before...or misread my analog meter.  Across the full coil I get about 180 (times 4 for the 1000 V range setting) I see 720 (which is better...and scares the Icon_clap out of me).  All of my readings were taken at the end of the wires that directly feed into the transformer.

This may be a live (hopefully) and learn experience.   Icon_e_wink
