Philco 38-12
#17

Hi Terry, I did what you said, step by step, but the problem I had was squealing and even occasional motorboating. I guess if it won't put out a good signal at the grid cap with a signal generator, there is a big problem. Actually the set is getting worse. Last week I could get a clear signal at the grid cap. This one's got me backed into the corner. Even the speaker sounds compromised having to put up with all that high decibel noise. If you have any more ideas, I'm listening. I'd hate to loose this one. Thank you. I'm adding those instructions to my repair folder.
