I’m new to the Philco forum, joined because a friend dropped off an old B&W cabinet Philco he asked me to see if I could get it to work. My “normal” tube electronics love is vintage guitar amplifiers which is why the Philco showed up on my doorstep!
So I realize that before I do ANYTHING the old filter caps (can caps) need to be replaced as I seriously doubt the originals have a prayer of functioning properly. I need to remove the power supply section from the cabinet to do this efficiently, but the anode cable is to short to do so and leave it connected. My question - can I unsolder the end of the cable from the CRT? I have looked at the other end and it seems to be soldered solidly into the tube socket. What’s the best way of dealing with the anode cable issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, DanoHSS.
