Philco 38-116 Question More Questions
#13

Thanks a sorry for misreading the Philco P/N. So OK, I do have a 6V lamp in both flood lamp sockets with nada. The dial lamp and tubes are doing fine on filaments. Doubt I have a short in one of the sockets. My problem is to figure out when and how they are turned on. Again, appears to have something to do with the above mentioned switches. Do certain things have to happen switch wise or tuning wise to get these puppies to light? They seem to be tied to the magnetic tuning circuit , can ID#65. They don't seem to light when you just turn on the radio. Thanks for your help. I might add that as best as I can figure from the schematic these lights are not powered by the filament voltage line. Then again, I could be wrong and often are.
