Philco 42-380 conflicting wiring vs schematic
#5

Sorry when I wrote 71 in stead of 41. (brain fart I am 73 years old). It is most certainly a 42-380 Code 121. I merely replaced the original wiring on the tube until I can replace it but it had the rotten rubber wire in those locations. The 41s never had any ground wires and were wired directly to the 6X5 on pin 5. The schematic definitely says 6X5. I am just as stumped as why this was done as anyone but have to say that the radio had very few repairs over the years. The main electolytics were replaced at some point.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM
