The proceedure I use is, I try the radio first and see how it works, if at all. If the tubes light up, they don't need testing at this time. Evidently someone took a shot at getting it to work, as the 'lytics were crudely replaced.
I never shotgun a circuit until I troubleshoot the set.
Those early Philco schematics were hard to read and they were scanned poorly by the freebee site. A lot of missing imformation.  |
thanks for jumping in,, this set will be working by the end of teh day,, at this pace,,, i'll tell you about teh other one i have later!!!!!!
yep,, i am having trouble sorting out teh schematic,,, i spent a lot of time looking up teh tube pin numbers, and put them on teh schem.. at least i can follow a ckt now... another thing they did, is use the tube socket pins, taht aren't used by teh tube, for a tag terminal... saves money i guess, but hard to follow, as teh insulation falls off teh wire when its touched...
i agree with not "shot gunning" anything i work on before i do some trouble shooting,, but i couldn't plug this set in,, needed a cord set, and the wire insulation was crumbling, and that "replaced" lytic,,so as i replaced it, i kept trying it, and changed teh caps while i was at it,,,
