I'm new to the Phorum but have been Phixing Philcos since the Phifities. My new 18 arrived today and I can't wait to get started on her. Brought her up on the Variac and good news so far. The filaments light! That's pretty much the end of the good news. No Sound. Hey it's a good start. No smoke, no sparks is always a good start. New caps and resistors are on the way. I ordered new veneer for the top and the front panel. She's a little rough looking but still beautiful in my eyes.
