Philco Model 16 wiring question
#1

https://philcoradio.com/library/download...l.%201.pdf

I recently acquired a Philco Model 16 Code 126. I removed the power transformer to place heat shrink on some very badly worn and cracked wires and I think I may have messed up the wiring to the 80 tube when I reinstalled the transformer. I couldn’t determine colours on the old wires and I tried to return them to where they originally were.

I have continuity, a beep on my DMM, between pin 1 and pin 2 and it measures .4 ohms. I also have continuity between pin 3 and the center tap as well as pin 4 and the center tap. Pin 3 to the CT is 68.5 ohms and from pin 4 to the CT is 62.5 ohms.

This is a complicated radio for someone of my abilities and I was hoping someone could let me know if I rewired this transformer incorrectly with the information I posted here.
