Rookie with Philco 38-C4 issues
#3

Hello Hamilton,
One thing I forgot to add is that odd shaped dark brown block with screw holding it to the chassis is called a bakelite block and Philco loved using them they contain capacitors and resistors.
So those will need to be gutted out and new parts installed here is a couple links one showing the how to remove the old parts

this just one way to do these .

You will notice a 4-number part no. printed on those blocks here is link showing the values of the parts in each block.

Sincerely Richard
