AR,

Welcome.
Above is the link to Philco section of Nostalgia Air. Find 18 and look at the sch.
First thing: no powering up.

You will have to clean, inspect and recap before you do.
Good thing is, the only crumbling rubber coated wires are from tone control, the rest is cloth and is durable. Power cord may have to go, and so may speaker wires.

Right now there is a thread on an 18 being restored by Bob Andersen.

I also did one three years ago.


You being an engineer and knowing how to use meter and scope is helpful.
Any questions, just ask, this is probably the most experienced Philco restore bunch.
Luck!
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
