Philco 90 later version
#22

Hello philco members,
Have now replaced the caps in the bakelite blocks and still have very weak audio.
I can barely hear audio.
Seems to be receiving am signals if I go up and down the dial.
Was wondering if it could be a problem with the output transformer of the speaker voice coil?
Not sure how to check these on this radio.
I have replaced the caps and a few resistors.
Thing that also bothers me, is that the electrolitics had been changed years ago.
They also left the original electrolitics wired as they did with a lot of the bakelite blocks.
I can't imagin that the thing ever worked after they butchered it the way they did.
Looking for suggestions here other than the garbage can.
Anyone care to chime in?
