model 20 hum (detector circuit?)
#57

I need the correct voltages from a working Philco Model 20 or 21 for the 24 detector tube and the 27 audio tube. I have the readings from the literature, however these were taken in the days when meters were only 10K ohms per volt. I am using a digital meter.

I know the correct filament voltages as well as the cathode voltages, however because of a problem I am having I need the other voltages. Also I would like to know what readings you measure at point B, D, E, F, G and J. I have a good idea of the correct voltages, but I don't want to guess on this one.

Any help would be most appreciated. However I don't want to guess or use the voltage readings from a tube manual or the Riders or Philco literature.

Someone had suggested to load the DMM with a resistor, however that won't work because the impedance of the new Fluke is, according to Fluke, infinite..
