noobie wow!!!! overwhelming. HELP
#1

I have a philco 18 code 121 that i would like to see working one day. I started some research on what to do and it seemed to be going fine. Well the more i learn the worse it seems to get. I'm not good with electronics but i can make most things work. If there is someone that has some time to answer questions to help me i would appreciate it. I will warn you I might have a lot of questions and i probable won t understand a lot of your answer......I started with elect. caps (except for #40 caps )I checked 80 rectifier and got F-F =6.3 P-K N/A (measurements up and down) then replaced #40 E caps and ....F-F = 4.9 P-K= 32mV....I used to hear a little static and some up and down waves when tuning ....now nothing. Any ideas or help?...........................................PS :THIS IS MY FIRST PHORUM still having some time with finding things.


THANKS KEN
