Hello, dear Radio Collectors! Here's a new mystery - I'm working on a Philco TH-14 Transitone. I replaced all the capacitors and all the rotten rubber insulated wiring. I applied power and got nothing, not even a hum in the speaker at any volume level. Here's the details so far:
B+ = 146 v.
Audio output tube (35A5):
grid, pin 6, normal audio waveform that varies with the tuning capacitor
plate, pin 2, 146 v. DC, zero AC (shouldn't I see an AC waveform here?)
130 ohm R21 measures 144 ohms.
Audio output transformer primary: 183.8 ohms
Across speaker terminals: 1.8 ohms
C22 (which I just replaced anyway) is OK
I tried a different output tube with the same results.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong or how to proceed from here?
Also, can someone tell me what the notations on the schematic by the speaker mean? They look like "V.E." and "D.C.", but I have no idea what they mean there.
Thanks / danke sehr!
