Philco 16b-Measuring voltages
#8

Also, remember that you are using vic 10 more volts from your wall socket. This will affect all of your radio's voltages.

The values listed are not exact, especially as a set ages. Replacing out of spec components will help, but the resistance of coils and transformers has probably also drifted.

These old sets are not precision pieces of equipment. The more you work on them, the more of a "sixth sense" you will develop about what is OK and what is not.
