Recapping Philco 51-PT1207, Headache

[Don Lindsly]

Good Video.

I have one of those TVs now and have worked on dozens more.

You were fortunate to find one with a good 12WP4.

Have you tried the 12SN7 in the vertical? It may take a few to find one that works. That TV has a page of production changes in the Philco yearbook. Are you using Sams or the Philco data?

Hi Don, i swapped the 12SN7 with the one in the horiz section but it wasn't any different.

I've finished replacing all the paper caps and changed out several out of spec resistors but I haven't tried it since then.

There is still one four section can to be restuffed too, figure I'll do that before trying it again.
I have a Sams and a Wallace Teleaid schematic now.

The speaker problem was just that the cone had come unglued all around the edge, I glued it down with some Elmers and it should be fine now I hope.
