OK...thanx guys.....
picked up another code 126 chassis......
Did a comparison and found the fault. But the second chassis was in such great shape that I ended up using that one. The one thing I omitted from the original circuit was the L/C network on that .2 cap. I'm told it's needed for keeping the persistant hum down to a decent roar.
@ Sam....yeah you WILL find other rectifiers in place. But this one IS a 50X6. The difference between the two are the pin callouts. But the 126 schematic is subtly different from other prints.
IMHO?....worst made chassis ever produced by Philco.
I also used a white LED bulb in place of the 7 watt nitelite bulb that's usually in there. They got 'em at Home Depot.
