41-250 restoration
#1

All, I've been working on a basket case 41-250.  The cabinet was a mess but I've finished the cabinet and now I'm working on the chassis.  Nearly all of the wiring had to be replaced and what didn't deteriorate on its own was eaten by mice.  Did Philco ever publish charts showing the tube voltages and resistance readings for all the tube pins?  Given all the rewiring it would be easy to make a wiring mistake.  If  such a chart exists could someone help me locate one?  I've powered it up and the amp is working but the oscillator is dead.  I haven't installed the push button tuning coils yet since the mice chewed off all of the braided wire connections.  I think the  radio should play without the portion shown below in red, can someone confirm that for me?  The audio transformer was open but a friend of mine happened to have the exact one in his junk box. 
Thanks in advance,
Keith
