Philco 20 console
#2

Welcome to the Phorum. Order a schematic and service info from http://www.philcorepairbench.com/schematics.htm . Read this: http://www.antiqueradio.org/begin.htm and other threads about electronic restoration of the Model 20 on this Phorum. Not sure what you mean by playing around with the capacitors and wiring, but all the electrolytic and paper capacitors need to be replaced before you even think about plugging it in again. You may have fried some coils already. Check them all. Replace out of tolerance resistors. There are folks on here that have restored this model who can help with specific problems as you go along. Not sure how familiar you are with electricity but there are sufficient current and voltages in these radios to be fatal so read and learn if you need to. Parts and services sources can be seen here: http://www.philcoradio.com/resourceb.htm
