Introduction and two Philcos
#33

Just read your other post. Sound like your osc coil is good too. Now there is a way to check the osc to see if it is working. Here what you do. get a transistor radio and tune it to 1460kc or khz Turn your Philco on and let it warm up. Tune it to 1000kc. Take the transistor  and turn it on, place it near 77 tube closest to the 80 tube. Slowly tune the Philco's main tuning knob back and forth about a 1/2 " either side of 1000 kc. Listen to the transistor set as you tune the Philco. If all is well you will hear loud hissing sound at one point as you tune. Just like a radio station with no audio/sound.

ps OOPS! I think I misread your meter I believe your osc coil is open. You can try the above it won't hurt anything.
