Hello guy's,
Have a Trutone A2-G teledial floor model radio that I am having issues with.
Suspecting maybe speaker or output transformer.
This speaker has a 5 pin connector, so I am not sure how to check it with my ohm meter. Used to 4 oin connectors.
Problem I am having is volume issues. Plays fine at lower volumes and goes south after mid range on the volume control.
Has been recapped and the transformer was replaced by previous owner.
Cadohm resistor is replaced as well as a handfull of resistors.
How do I check the speaker and output transformer on this 5 pin connector.
Tubes have all been verified as OK on my tube tester(Hikcock).
Checked voltage on rectifier tube and it is checking about 285v.
Checked on speaker socket and its about the same.
Idea's without getting to technical?
