Philco 37-650 mystery wires
#1

Schematic reading/wiring assistance needed!

Im working on a Philco 37-650
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/219/M0013219.htm

I have a few disconnected/cut wires that I cant seem to figure out where they are supposed to connect.
The first one is this green/yellow wire coming off of pin 4 of the 6K7G tube. The other wire routes around to a bakelite block cap on the other side of the chassis but the other wire is cut/broken and I cant find another stub that looks like the same wire.

The Next one is this mysterious stub on pin 5 of one of the 6F6G output tubes.

Can anyone help?

>pin 4 of the 6K7G tube

Which 6K7 ? The rf or IF amp.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

The IF....

Goes to the junction of 61 and 62.

The pic of the 6F6 looks like you are asking about pin 4 not pin 5. 4 goes to a 3.5k resistor and it in turn is connected to pin 4 of the other 6F6

The second wire on that pin goes to the 61/62 point....From the schematic I cant quite figure out why theres even another wire attached to pin4.

The other stub is definitely attached to pin 5 of 6F6 along with two resistors and a paper cap. The cap which isnt on the schematic and at first glance appears to be a recap of the .03 mfd bakelite block its attached to.

I think the previous owner had some work done on it ages ago and these stubs may be the remainder of some repairmans work....

Now that I look at it...I think that 6f6 stub used to be the connection to bakelite block #45. I think it was cut and the .03 mfd paper cap was strung between 6f6 and #45......
#7

Each of the 6F6's should have a paper cap (whether it's loose or in a bakelite block) connected to pin 5. one come from pin 4 of the other 6F6 and the other cap comes pin 3 of the 6K5.

Pin 4 of the 6K7 has a connection over to pin4 of the 6A8

A ha! I think thats it! there are some bits of wire on that pin that could be where it broke free....theres also a wire from pin 4 of 6A8 to pin 4 of 6K7G (RF).

Right now there is only a wire from pin 4 of 6A8 to pin 4 of 6K7 (rf). Nothing else ...
#9

I believe that while removing the subchasis I may have missed the wire between 6k7 (if) and 6A8 when I was marking and cutting and mistakenly pulled it off the pin while removing.....

Many thanks!

Got her playing for the rest of the recap and restoration....
