I have this Phantom, a.m. 1937 -38 era. I went through it somewhat and I notice the overall sensitivity is not very good. Compared on same antenna with a Midwest CC-18, same era, it is a dog. All IF…Continue

Hi all, I just got an AM Phantom Deluxe serial #UU-42. The schematics available differ from mine. The PS uses 5V4 and 6V6 tubes on mine and the main receiver does not use a VR tube.Is this an early…Continue

"Looking for pin voltages and or resistance for a phantom. Having an issue and that would make things easier.
Thanks,
Tom"
"I am not sure if my post actually worked, but I got my Model16 up and running, just needs alignment.Serial # JJ-176, Acoustacraft also, same cabinet as my Phantom.
Is the I F frequency 465kc?
Thanks
Next is the Allwave I have with a great…"
"Hi all, this is Tom , northern California. I also have Scotts, a Phantom, a model 16, and an Allwave. The Phantom is all done and works well except a hum that I need to find. I just finished the Model16 and am ready to align it. Is it also 465kc for…"

Boys and girls,I just got an Allwave 23 and a Model 16. More to be revealed, but the quick summary is both are in " good" original condition.The Allwave chrome is not great, the Model 16 chrome is pretty nice.Cabinets and grill cloth are original and appear to be restorable without refinishing.Pictures tomorrow.There may be more available as he sorts through the warehouse.We shall see.TomSee More
"They were a casualty of whatever was shoring the RF stage on the variable cap. (fixed)
So, today I went to an auction all primed for another Scott.
A REALLY nice 16, I bid to $750, went for $770.
A REALLY nice AllWave I bid to $1,500, went for…"
"Those resistors may be casualties of leaking cap(s)."
"Yes I did replace the caps in those cans. Not too difficult. The surprising thing was the resistors were all withing tolerance , except the two that overheated. That's pretty amazing.
I'll get back to the tubes in future."
"Suggest you at least try metal 6J5s to see if the hum reduces.
Also, regarding caps replaced, did you dismount these two assemblies inside to replace caps inside:
- the RF diode (back apron) ? and
- the IF diode (between the socket for the 3rd…"
"They sure have. I may actually have some if I look through ALL my tubes. That will take a while. Good winter project to play musical tubes to find the least hum combination. It is so pronounced I am leaning towards a cathode/heater issue as…"
"6J5's normally have pin 1 connected to the metal shell. You would certainly have to make sure that pin 1 is not used as a tie point other than ground. The audio people have driven up the prices of good 6J5G's."
"Good call. I'll try that next time I play with it. Now have a couple tube Hi FI amps to do for someone.
I am out of 6J5 G tubes and they are pricey. Have 6J5 metals but not going to use those, not sure if the case goes to a pin and if said pin…"
"The first AF (1st audio audio) tube can be a hum source - as per the Owners Manual. Swap other 6J5's into the 1st AF tube socket. So start there.
Scott evidently was using Sylvania "G" tubes starting late 1930's. But try any…"
