Thank you. thank you, thank you!!!!.
The field coil was shorted to the chassis where the hushatone was previously installed. That problem fixed, the coil no longer gets hot.
I had a bad solder joint to one of the electrolytic caps too. Problem fixed, the radio works now...
The tone control is bad though. I am getting sound now, and can tune stations, but only when the tone control is in the open position. I was touching the lead earlier, but one hand in pocket, standing on carpet, using a plastic tool. I am sorry.. it was stupid.
Thank you guys for putting me on the right track. I was giving up. FYI - your answers matched the 1943 edition of Radio Troubleshooters Handbook. You guys are good! ...
Now the question is, what is the value of the tone control? the Philco part number is 30-4316... Can I just solder a cap across the leads, or do I need to find a new tone control?
