Philco 38-116 Question More Questions
#23

All right, Jerry. You had stated that you had replaced the magnetic tuning off-on switch previously. Could it be wired incorrectly?

The way the switch should be wired is, when it is turned off the extra lights on the dial assembly are off - but the two wires going to the switch from the magnetic tuning circuit are shorted together by the switch, which disables the magnetic tuning circuit.

When the switch is on, the lamps come on but the short is removed from those two wires from the magnetic tuning assembly.

Using this info, study your schematic and I think you will see what I mean.

If you have the switch wired wrong, your lamps could be coming on with the switch in the on position but the two wires from the magnetic tuning circuit could be shorted, disabling the circuit.

Just a thought.
