Philco 46-350
#5

Finished restoring this radio, got it working and voltages look good, I left the 117Z3 in the radio. I put the speaker into the chassis, tested it again and it was bad, loud noise buzzing you name it. I took the speaker out again, still the same, it was time to quit for the day. Next day in the morning I tested again and it was fine, I put the speaker back in again and tested it and it was terrible, I took it into another room same thing, it was making a noise like wowoo wowoo wowoo. I noticed that my wife was doing the laundry at the same time I was working on this. I waited for the wash machine to shut off and all was good again. The washing machine was causing interference, I also have interference with these flat screen TV's and computers with the transformers always on. So this washer must emit some RF.......It drove me nuts.
