Philco 37-61
#39

I managed to get the power supply and the Amp wiring done, I replaced all the resistors in that section as well as all the caps. I double checked all the wiring and hooked the org speaker up and decided to do a quick smoke test, I was amazed when I herd radio signals come in on both shortwave band as well as the AM band. With just a short 1 foot antenna I picked up stations loud and clear and the bass filter worked like a dream.  The voltages seemed all normal and there was no hum from the power line. The speaker has 2 very small hole in it and I will repair them (I read from the library about speaker repair. I have a gallon of Thompson Water seal, so I may use that to renew the very fragile cone.  I am so happy that the field coil is OK.  
I sure am grateful for all the help I got from you wonderful folks, Philco Radios are  tricky to work on and I am looking forward to get working on another Philco I have, its a battery set (model 40-95).
I will be cleaning the rest of the chassis and adjusting the front end etc. Will keep ya posted
Thanks again
Chip.

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