[split] Philco 1938 Farm Radio
#8

PHILCO Model 338-123 ‘Farm’ Radio
Power Cable Wiring

B+ 135 Volts YELLOW
B+ 67.5 Volts Yellow with Black Stripes
A-, B-, C+: Black with White Stripes
C- 7.0 Volts: Green
C-3 Volts: Blue
A+ 2 Volts: White with Black Stripes
A+ 'AirCell' Tag: Brown/Tan
Or
A+ ‘Storage [cell]’: White with black Stripes

Just to be clear (and before I power this radio up):
If I attached 2 Volts to the White with Black Stripes labeled 'A+' (above) I DO NOT have to put any power into the wires labeled (with little cardboard tags) (wire color is brown/tan [it has faded after 90 years]) tagged as "A+ Aircell" or the White/Black wire labeled 'A+ Storage'.

Right? Thank you Matt
