[NJARC] Philco Hummmmmmmmmmm

[N3IBX]

Steve,
           I almost forgot to mention the 80 vs 5Z3. Like the #80, the 5Z3 is a fully wave high vacuum rectifier; but will handle more current than the 80 will. 

I hoope this helps,

Hi all:

Got my 116X working all bands.

Also got a hum that's seems a rather loud...replaced the filter caps...it is 
not noticeable when I pick up a station...

Is this to be expected?

What voltage rating should the filter caps be?

Also...have seen both 80 and 5Z3 in similar models...I believe the 5Z3 is 
the better tube to handle the current...please advise.

And..what can I do to - adjustment wise - to make sure I've the radio 
'peaked' for max reception/performance?...only have a VOM & O'scope 
instruments.

Lastly...I'd like to 'polish up' the aged metal chassis...have used a Dremel 
brush in the past...your suggestions welcome.

Thank you & kind regards,
Steve Tetorka
