Philco 38-116 Question More Questions
#10

Thanks for the help Ron, gang, another question. I can't seem to get the "flood lamps" that illuminate the sides of the dial to go on. After looking at the schematic, there is more than meets my eyes. These don't appear to run off the 6.3V AC line. There were no bulbs in place so I stuffed some 6V lamps. The Philco P/N for the lamps is 34 2064 could anyone provide me with a commercial part number? Also, from the looks of the schematic, activation of the bulbs appears to require two switches item #s 96 and possibly 97. Do the bulbs only illuminate when switches are in a certain position or when possibly moving the tuner manually with the "thingy" that comes off the edge of the center dial for tuning to "presets". This dial bezel is missing the protruding piece. I have tried to download a pic to photo bucket but they seem to be on the beta version and I can get nowhere.
Thanks Jerry

OK, got PB to work, here is a picture of the dial.

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM
