I bought a Philco Model 48-1256 at a local antique dealer. I did do the unthinkable and plug it in before re-capping it. This is my first one. Luckily I didn't release the smoke out of any components. It did have a loud ac hum so a recapping is in order for the electrolytics and papers. And I am pretty sure the crystal cartridge or wiring to it is bad. Just wanted to share and introduce myself. I do have 20 years experience in electronics just nothing this old. Always wanted to pick this up as a hobby though.

Later,
Russell
