Philco Mod. #44" Need help"
#1

I'am going to restore my 44 philco and could really use some advice on how to procede. So far I built a dim bulb tester and powered it up with tubes out to check the power transformer. The bulb stayed very dim as it should. I put the #80 tube in and had the same results. went to 100watt bulb and it did'nt glow very bright. So I powered it directly from house 120v. The 80 tube got very red with a purple tinge. so I unplugged it. I have ordered all the caps to replace have been studying the schematic and found there are 3 caps in chassis not on schematic.Should I replace all the caps or is there certain ones to do first to address the #80 tube?
