Philco 53C questions
#27

I dont know how to check for high volts but I checked all the tubes.
1 77 is very weak and the 43 tube is showing up dead (as in 0). When I plugged it in I noticed a spark from the area of the 43 tube. I could not tell if it was inside the tube or not. Checked the area and nothing amiss.
The rectifier is very strong so that rules that out.

Guess what tubes I dont have out of the 2000 I bought... Any guesses?
A 43 and another 77... Icon_rolleyes

There is nothing Sam, no hint of life, no hum, no action from the tubes, nothing....

I dont think I am going to be able to do what I know you guys are going to recommend.. Lets see if I am right Icon_lol

Whats next?

Thanks for the help so far
