	Then we wondered why it still wasn't working, one tube which previously tested good wouldn't warm up! Turns out, WRONG TUBE. So the pins were different and it wasn't hooked up at all. D'oh.

			After installing the new rectifier tube, Audin and I powered it up annnnnnnnnnnnnd... no audio. Hum, but no audio. Shit.

			After some more poking, prodding and investigation Audin discovered we had inadvertently installed a 400k ohm resistor where a 400 ohm belonged, blocking the incoming radio signal!

			Now we have radio, but no volume control. This turned out to be a misconnected wire, and oddly we shouldn't have had any audio at all, but apparently in that configuration it was bleeding over from somewhere and coming out the speaker, with some hum.

			Now it is fully repaired, reassembled and working nicely next to my chair awaiting a trip back to Olympia to return it to my father.

			= 2010/12/27 =
			I did a little, and Audin did a lot, but the Philco is nearly rebuilt.


			We hope. We powered it up after getting all the new caps and some resistors installed. The radio has been previously repaired more than once, and it shows. Some parts are just wrong, some have been relocated.

			Then we wondered why it still wasn't working, one tube which previously tested good wouldn't warm up! Turns out, WRONG TUBE. So the pins were different and it wasn't hooked up at all. D'oh.
			I've ordered the replacement, hopefully it'll be here soon and we can listen to some fine AM tunes.
