Hi All;
My philco 45 goes from working to being (Sound Wise) Dead, in about a minute after it starts to emit Sound from the Speaker..
And, yes I am using my Variac..
It emits a Pop! then after that there is no sound at all..
The Electrolytics have been replaced..
I have replace the tubes and that doesn't change anything, I am next going to take out the two Caps that are in Parallel with the primary winding on the Transformer and after that Take out the Tone Control, thinking that one of its Caps could be Bad, or leaking..
What does everyone think, Should I consentrate on, checking and replacing Capacitors or does it make more sense to go the Resistor Route..
All of the underside of the Chassis looks Pristine, no cob webs, no dead anything.. Nothing looks burnt or smells funny..
Even the Speaker looks like its been Reconed..
