Philco 49-1600 no sound
#2

Here's a copy of the schematic/service information for the 49-1600 from our digital library:

and here's the service info for the record player if you still have the original M9 in it:

No sound could be a lot of things so a systematic check of the various transformer coils and speaker coils for continuity is usually where I start. If one of those is bad it will need a replacement. A recap of the electrolytic and paper caps is a must do if it hasn't been done recently. Tubes are likely OK but a check on a tube tester may be in order if the recap doesn't bring the set back to life. Check the resistor values as well, some may need replacement also. If you are going to do this yourself, go slowly, one cap at a time where possible and take lots of photos to help when you can't remember where something goes. There are some very skilled folks here that can help with the trouble shooting so feel free to ask questions. Just continue your restoration questions and reports as part of this thread so its easier for folks to follow along.

Should be fun!
