Working on all wave 15, no sound or reception. Speaker rebuilt, everything good on speaker.<br />
Looking at schematic I see primary field coil only has 5 volts going to it, is this correct? all tubes are good.<br />
I am used to radios with higher b plus going to the field coil.<br />
What am I missing?

<p>Maybe someone here can please help me figure out the speaker connection? I have cleaned the knobs, polished and waxed the chassis to include power supply. Tubes tested and some metal ones substituted with glass equivalents. Everything looks very well kept. Minimal corrosion. Maybe one cap replaced in the power supply. I know a lot of members here only accept the older 'real' E H Scott models but for me this is close enough and not overly complex. I don't want shortwave. Anymore of a boat…</p>

Anymore of a boat anchor combo and I would not be able to easily lift them.

<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>Does anyone have the two tiny springs for the Anti-backlash gears for sale ?</p>
<p>It is for a 1937 Scott Philharmonic Pointer Dial.</p>
<p>Or does anyone know where to get them ?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone have a detailed drawing of the tuning control mechanism ?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Has anyone tried using chrome paint on a chassis and parts that have lost their luster due to rust or corrosion? I once saw a brush-on chrome touch up kid offered online, but can't find anything now that doesn't require total immersion of the part in a bath. Thanks</p>

<p>Tom Lager</p> Phantom Deluxe dead oscillator & RF Amptag:ehscott.ning.com,2024-02-20:3925821:Topic:1430402024-02-20T18:36:35.407ZSam Samuelianhttps://ehscott.ning.com/profile/SamSamuelian
<p>Hello,</p>
<p> I am trying to bring a dead Phantom Deluxe (AM) back to life. I have 2 problems that are stumping me. First, the RF amp doesn't. It attenuates the incoming signal as evidenced by scope traces on the grid and plate, with the plate trace being a much lower amplitude than the grid. The 6U7 tube tests good on my Hickock 600 tube tester. The whole set has been re-capped and out of spec resistors replaced. Socket voltages on the 6U7 are as follows: Plate +230V reference…</p>

The 6U7 tube tests good on my Hickock 600 tube tester. The whole set has been re-capped and out of spec resistors replaced. Socket voltages on the 6U7 are as follows: Plate +230V reference chassis, grid 1 -1.5V reference to cathode, Cathode +6.5 V reference chassis, grids 2& 3 (tied together) +105 V reference chassis. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The oscillator, 6J5 voltages are as follows: Plate +150V reference chassis, Grid +4V reference Cathode and 0V reference chassis, Cathode +4.8V reference chassis. My frequency meter and scope measure no output from the oscillator. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I am fairly certain that the converter works since I can tune in stations by injecting an unmodulated signal at the grid of the 6L7 at a frequency 455KHz above the desired tuned frequency.</p>
<p>Your thoughts? Thanks</p>

<p>I am just starting restoration of an AW23 7 knob with Tasman cabinet.</p>
<p>It looks like a very complete unit with the exception of the metal band selector pointer knob. </p>
<p>Are there reproductions of this part or does someone have one to sell? </p>

<p>I know it’s notoriously difficult to diagnose faults remotely, but I’m a bit stumped and so decided to ask. My philharmonic has developed this problem: essentially, it’s behaving as if it hasn’t got a good aerial when in fact it has- ie poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio. However if I beam a signal to it from an SS tran AMT3000 transmitter, it works very well. Any thoughts?</p>

<p><br></br>I have decided to part with my Philharmonic and Capehart 16E. Both were professionally installed in a custom made cabinet made in London in the late 1930’s.

Can someone here give me a rough idea of its current worth in, say, the US? It’s in excellent condition. I will not part them from each other, or their original cabinet, which is of the highest…</p>
