Philco 38-690 electronics restoration.
#93

And, speaking of the tweeter speakers being counter-phase and the series capacitor being too low: my though of why no one noticed that initially is: the main speaker, used by Philco, is the same exact speaker that 37-116 and 38-116 use, with the exception of the field coil resistance (which in these is low, as they are used as filter, and in 38-690 is high as it is used as a load and not as a filter) - the PN for the cone and voice is the same. So, the speaker being a full midrange sufficient for producing Hi-Fi sound, the absence of the tweeters' action was well masked by the main speaker's performance.

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.
