My Philco 38-116
#9

Well, I took it to my buddy's place and the first bit of work has begun on the chassis and speaker. Speaker had a few patches in it and I do have a few trashed shield bases and four missing tube shields on the chassis. Seems to be people needed tubes during WWII and they had to get what they could get, usually the stupid metal tubes that Philco seemed to hate! At least that is my friend's theory. We brought it up slowly and it seems all the transformers and the speaker are good, but we are not getting B+ to the tubes on the tuner chassis. He is going to work on it more tonight and even thinks he might have the missing part for my tuner. We will have to see how it turns out. Icon_smile

No matter where you go, there you are.
