Hello Philco Phorum
#21

The known problems so far are the lack of a speaker and some disconnected wires on the underside of the chassis. The speaker problem is most likely the easiest to solve and TA Forbes is helping me with that. Thanks TA!!

The wires are coming from two of the electrolytic capacitors. I'll be needing some schematic study time to figure those out.

There is one incorrect tube in the set and the condition of the others hasn't been determined yet. The incorrect tube is a GE 35/51 (with 35 being over number 51 on the side of the tube) where a type 24 is supposed to be. The location on the chassis is to the left of the type 27 at the back of the chassis behind the tuning capacitor. Can you tell I need some schematic study time? Icon_biggrin If I knew what I was talking about I could tell you if it was the RF, the 1st detector, or the IF. Icon_redface Icon_redface

Once these things are corrected I can bring it up real slow and look for the smoke signals to determine what else needs repair.

Thanks for asking codefox1!
