Hi all,

I have an old Philco radio that i remember fondly from my younger days. It sat out on the porch of my dad's aunt's cottage on Moonlight Bay. I remember listening to stations all over the country on it and the great mellow sound it had. We got the cabinet refinished a number of years ago, but the problem is a burned up tube and socket. How can I fix this? What would cause a tube to burn up like this? Also, would like to get the Phico decal for the caabinet and a couple of button labels.

Thanks,
Perry

See, the model, then go to www.Nostalgiaair.org, go to Philco, put the model in, open the document, locate the tube, locate it in the sch.
Then it could be theorized what it is and why it burnt.
Good radio, could be restored.

PS. OK, seems like a full-wave rectifier tube to me, possibly an 80. Could be just it, bad tube, could be bad electrolytic, but the radio need full recap anyway. And probably a new socket.
Radio is 41-295 or similar.

Welcome to the Phorum. The reason the tube broke is probably because of those two gold helmets on top
