51-932 code 122 change - resistor question
#2

Hi Tony

Lucky for you Icon_smile I just happen to have a 1951 Philco Home Radio Yearbook handy.

According to it, the only change made in Code 122 receivers is changing the 35Z5 rectifier to a 35Y4. No mention of a 50A5, so I must assume that change was made by someone later on? What does the tube layout sticker show?

Since R5 is still present in your radio, that convinces me even more that the 50A5 was added by someone later on. Of course the socket would have been rewired for the 50A5, since its basing is different from the 35L6.
