Wouldn't be too concerns about the heater windings. If you are going to have bad ones the HV is the 1st suspect and the primary is the 2nd. In Philco set the pt are pretty stout. when you take the chassis out of the cabinet and there's a big gob of wax stuck to the cabinet that's the time to be worry about bad a pt. Most of the 84's have some other tricks up their power cords which we here on the Phorum can guide you thru if you like.
