[attachment=1493]hi guys,

i just joined, this is my 1st post....
i have a couple of 40's philco radio's that were given to me by a philco radio collector buddy,,, he's into older sets,,,

i started with this this pt-12, its recapped, and all teh tubes tested good,,i also replaced the cord set,,, it didn't work when i got it, and teh new cap and wiring didn't help any,,, someone was working on it before i got it, as half teh 20-20 lyctic was replaced with a single,,33mf, if i recall,,, this cap was just twisted on to teh old wire, no solder...
taht was my first clue to what i was in for!!!!!
i got a copy of the philco schematic , and also a rider one,, which is basically the same view,,, i can usually figure out a schematic,, but these have me stumped,,,,
are there any other schematics, or wire plans available that are easier to read? anyone restore one of these chassis, and have some clear pics? i'm pretty sure there is a miss wiring problem... any all all help with this will be welcome...
