Philco 38-3 Not Working
#2

<What should I ask this Guy to check on?
If he's worth his weight in salt he should be able to troubleshoot it without any advise on what someone else thinks may or may not be the issues.

<Which is the oscillator tube?
The 6A8G. There is a 6N7 that influences the oscillator via the afc circuit.

<Do you think as I do that it should be very close to have this radio working?
Lots of variables involved. Might be proprietary parts that aren't commonly available. Depends on how sharp and motivated your tech is. Could have an open coil or two in the rf deck (not all that common on the post '35 set).

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
