Help with radio problem
#1

Hi all, I hope someone will be able to help me here. I have a Philco model 91L, type 127. It's a low boy console. I recapped, checked resistors, etc. about twenty years ago. Anyway, I had it on the other night and suddenly the audio just stopped. I turned it off and back on and it seemed fine for about 15 minutes. The audio just stopped again; while going over to the radio, I noticed a blue/purple glow from the back of it. There was no odor at all nor did I hear any arcing or the such. I removed the chassis today and gave it a very close visual inspection which showed nothing at all. I'm afraid to turn it back on as I may do damage to it. Does anyone know what may cause this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
