ITS ALIVE>>>ITS ALIVE>>ITS ALIVE>>>
Well took the great advices and replace the electrolytics, kept the diode, lit the tube, and cleaned all the pin conntections. Its working pretty good right now.
Also messed around with the way the wires to the antenna are hooked and this is what I have right now. from left to right looking forward from the back of the chassis... screw 1 "S",screw 2 "A", screw 3 "nothing hooked", screw 4 "G".
Not sure if this is correct.. but so far it has the best reception.. can not pick up any shirt wave..but I am in the cellar work shop..maybe when I put it upstairs ground level it will be better.
I also noticed that the antenna in standing position close to the chassis makes a big difference in reception..must have something to do with field.
This Philco deffinetly lacks the strong sound and punch that I get out of my 10-tube 10S464 Zenith. I listen to the Zenith almost every day. Works with help from the nice people found at this web site.
Still working to see if I can get some puch out of the speakers on this Philco.
Only has one simple knob for trebble/bass though.
Zenith has an array of sellectors.
