Mike, Mr Fixr, & Richard,
I applied the ecellent advice given, and voila, no continuity between the line cord and the rectifier. So the last thing I did was replace the 4PDT switch (S101). Result was: The original Philco switch's detent must have gone bad at some point and 'someone' wired it so it would work on AC only. Oh, what a fool (or Phool) I am. I didn't follow the schematic and went by how it was wired. Once bitten, twice shy. I'll be working on the rewire sometime today and I'll get back with the results. A guy can't go wrong with friends like you'all.
Thanks, Joe
