Philco 37-61
#28

Part 16 is external, (right side of the chassis view. Parts 40 and 41 are external (left side of chassis view) I already put new ones in.  I put in new resistors in also. Block 46  (upper left of chassis view), I put 2 new  .015 caps in that one. I put two new  ..015 caps in the ac line block (bottom view in the photos). I wired everything according to the schematic and did a quick smoke test with only the rectifier tube inserted just to see if I have DC on the plates and screens, everything looked normal. Now I need to do the speaker wiring and then I will put all tubes in and go for the smoke test again . I will let ya know what the results are later today . Thanks for the help with this head scratchier,  its these sort of things that makes the history of radio interesting.

The process of learning is to fix something that is not broke.
