New to Phorum and a Philco 38
#12

Hi Arran, thanks for your reply. I agree also, it is much better to use a battery eliminator for a DC set than to convert it to AC.
It looks like the type 6 ballast tube socket was there, I can see that the rivets were ground out. If I am understanding things, a 38 would have had the socket, but a jumper would have been placed across the filament contacts. Does that sound right?
Given what you see here, do you think a restoration back to DC is reasonable?
I think my first plan should be to use the schematic to create a point to point wiring diagram, and secondly to see if I can even locate the proper sockets.
