Rescuing a Philco... but which one? [With many pictures!]
#7

Kevin Segura Wrote:Hmm-- that's odd... according to the tube diagram on the back of the unit, the amp does have two separate 6CZ5 tubes for audio output. I figured that was one per channel. But if there's no indication off a stereo output on the schematic, then I suppose there **must** be a Y-adapter underneath that is indeed combining the channels.

Good eyes ... you will see that the 'channels' are combined before the amp and the 6CZ5 are in a complimentary one channel output.

1959. Like they said back then, 'caveat emptor'. They just didn't say it in Translated Chinese like they do nowadays. Put "Stereo" on the knobs and not deliver stereo. Thats a bummer but its still a nice 13-tube rig worth saving. haha, it has a good war-story to go along with it.
