Philco F-1600 HELP!!
#6

Thanks for al the help and advice so far guys; I'm going to get cracking on this today.
PAradiogeek: I was an electronics service technicians in the military, but I am a beginner with gear of this age and type. It was originally brought to me for an idler wheel repair and replacing a plug that was quite unsafe. It was upon doing that new problems began to appear (such as blowing out the rectifier and the leaking transformer.). I have been trying to find the necessary information to continue on with the repair and have already attained more form this thread than my previous research, and I would like to believe I'm pretty capable at internet research.

Morzh: You're correct about the labor of love. I am doing this to cover the cost of parts. I got out of the electronics repair business because and do it more as a hobby these days.

Klondike98: Thanks for the links! I'm hoping I can can this project back on the rails and OUT OF MY HOUSE! Haha!
