Philco Model 20 to restore
#19

Worked on the speaker assembly last night. Clipped my ohmmeter leads to the connector pins and found that with slight movement of the cable I would get some intermittent readings. Found that at the speaker end of the cable there were some very dodgy solder connections so, reterminated the connections and am now getting resistance readings of 265 ohms and 5.1 K. I expect the new resistors and capacitors to arrive this week and am hoping to power this radio using variac and dim-bulb tester after new components go in. Wondering if I leave the speaker assembly as is could that result in a Maintenance-Induced-Failure of a serious nature.
