Today, I replaced the caps and resistors in my 45. I decided to fire it up and see if it went Puhpow! 8) ... well it didn't... After a minor alignment, it sounds great. I've still got a lot of work to do, but it plays nicely.

I want to clean the dial and I have a couple of questions.

1. Are these dials known to be brittle? If I remove it, is there a risk of it breaking into pieces?

2. From eyeballing it, it looks like the writing is on the front? Is this correct? I've had good luck using mineral spirits to clean Philco dials without ink loss, but I am always wary.

Thanks in advance..

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
