Philco 511 Restoration and Questions
#38

Hello All,

Wanted to give a final update.  The radio was just about right on with alignment.  I decided not to neutralize the set as it has been playing great for over 10 hours within a couple of days.  No oscillation, howling, or anything.

For a 1928 set, she sounds pretty good.  I retraced the wiring one last time and made sure all tubes were in their correct sockets.   The Heathkit T-2 is the test speaker I had on hand with a universal output transformer.  It worked great.  The owner has the proper speaker or has a different one to use with the set.

Thank you all for the help you provided on this restoration.  It's complete!

Jon
