I have a salvaged Philco AC pwr trans (10 wire version) that all cks good except one side of the H.V. plate wires. The H.V.- centertap & 1 good side is reading about 370 volts ac . The other side HV plate windings lead-wire is dead (no high voltage at all). The rectifier low-voltage 5v filament windings, ( and its 1 sided) centertap wire also ck good, as does the 6-volt filament leads. My question is this? I have heard before that using a diode can be used to solve the problem on the one "bad-side" of the Hi voltage secondary. Has anyone here ever used this method to bypass a 1/2 dead Hi volts side of the plate secondary before to continue using the AC trans? Any tips would be appreciated!! Randal (Texasrocker)
