Philco 39-30 restoration
#4

Yes, that is the output transformer and it's good Icon_smile

I find the tube lineup a bit odd. 84, 6A8, 78, 37, 75 41.
I wouldn't expect a set from '39 to be using 75s & 78s Icon_eh

I've seen a more bizarre tube combination the that, a friend in Alberta had a 1939 or 40 Philco bakelite that was not only an AC set but used 2.5 volt tubes like a 2A5 and a 58. Maybe they got a deal on the older types and thought they would build a set around them. Some of the later models with a similar chassis to yours used a combination of octals, loctals and old style tubes like 41s or 84s. I need to have a look at that chassis again, Ron was asking if they used more cloth wire in the 1939-42 Canadian Philcos and I think they did.

Arran
