Philco model 18 (code 121) - HELP!
#96

I am getting close.

While checking voltages I picked up a strong radio station (but only when I touched the ‘K’ and ‘DP’ pins of the # 75 tube with the volt-meter leads). I think I need to replace the I.F. #78 tube AND/OR the #80 tube?? Here are my results while checking the voltages, all other tubes have outrageously high voltages and the I.F. #78 tube and #80 tube are really low.

MY RESULTS ARE INSIDE THE [ ] BRACKETS.

Also, I remember someone asking me to touch the ‘Center-tap’ with a screwdriver to hear a ‘HUM’? What is the ‘Center-tap’? Is that the back of the ‘ON-DIAL’ under the chassis?

Thanks.
