Hello, I’m new to this forum and have a couple of Philco radios that I’ve been working on. Currently it’s the 42-327 122, it seems that whoever was here before me made some adjustments and aside from the 80 ohm heater resistor missing I’m having to assume it’s the 122 because other wiring matches both the 121 and 122. I need help in sorting this circuit. When plugged in there is no power to the heaters but there is power to the switch and it checks ok. The 35z3 heater checks ok and shows no sign of a short. I’m guessing the x means that wire is taken out and replaced with the dotted line configuration and so I’ve been checking all those changes. Some are right for the 122 and some are right for the 121. The radio was not working when I got it and I had to replace the 35z3 loctal socket and a lot of crumbling wiring. So, now I’m not sure if I want to power it on or continue tracing the wiring, but first I need confirmation about the heater circuit as I read the schematic. Field coil, speaker and resistors are not too far out of specs and most caps I have replaced. Thanks
