Philco Model 41-296X with 41-285 modified chassis
#24

Remember, order a 10 mfd, 450 volt capacitor to replace the 10 mfd, 160 volt capacitor that fried!

I hate to see you ordering another tube when it may not be necessary...but do what you think best. At least should the original prove to be good later on, you'll have a spare...

You cannot order a field coil for your radio. It is a permanent part of the speaker and cannot be removed.

I suggest that, before ordering anything, you do this:

Remove that 84/6Z4 from its socket. That is the rectifier tube.

Disconnect the fried 10 uF 160 volt cap - taking careful notes as to how it hooked up before removing it.

Now perform that "quick and dirty" test I asked you to run, following the instructions I gave you in a previous post exactly as I laid them out. Keep in mind that in this test, the radio will not play. In this test, you don't want the radio to play; you are only checking the health of the power transformer.

Let us know how it turns out.
