Hello, everyone.

Has anyone restored a Gilfillan 5B8? I recently purchased one that someone hacked up. I found the schematics at http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...008581.pdf but I am having a heck of a time reading them. The print is horrible. I replaced the capacitors and resistors but I am unable to get any sound from it except when I touch the top of the 6Q7 tube. I get a hum from the speaker when I touch it. The tubes are all good. However, there is a 240k resistor soldered to the 6Q7 that runs through a hole in the 6F6 and is soldered to 5W4. I put some solder on the hole and now I get no sound whatsoever.

If anyone has restored one of these radios, I would appreciate knowing what you did and if anyone has photos of the underside of the chassis, I would like to see them.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Dave
