How else is he going to power the filaments of the 26 tubes?

The high voltage winding of the Kolster transformer is too high for the Philco. Of course the resulting B+ could be dropped with a resistor, but I don't particularly like "kludges."

Hi Ron,

Listen I know you would like to see keep the set original condition and I agree with you all the way.
However, since I am dealing with 84 year old equipment I have to make some hard choices. All I want to do is to make this radio play once more.
Now you mentioned a resistor I can install in the set. What kind of resistor should I use?

Sincerely,
Radionut
