PHILCO 41-608 ADJUSTMENTS
#2

Hello, David,

Check the 'pot' which adjusts the lamp imtensity. It may have a wire off or need a good squirt of tuner cleaner.

Is the light really bright? It should not be. After you gain control of it, you should start at minimum, then turn it up, slowly. When you rreach a place where the volume doesn't increase, leave it there. The lamp will last longer, and be less microphonic. My Aunt and Uncle had a 41-608, which they bought new. It ran until about 1963 or 64, when they THREW IT OUT!!!! It still had the original lamp, stylus and photocell. and it was used heavily. (Through WW-II with teen agers!) The shelf plates had the chrome worn through where the records were rubbed on them.
