Got two radios repaired yesterday, now working on a Crosley 124 that I
worked on a few years ago. All it needed then was new filter caps.


Almost zero audio output.

Pair of 47's in the final audio


I have a speaker with audio transformer I can put across the output
stage to confirm it's not a speaker or audio transformer problem

voice coil is good and has voltage on it.


If I put my test speaker to the input stage of the 47's I get a moderate
audio signal so I know it's the last stage.


One of the 47's tests low emission on my tube tester but works ok in
another radio. Also tried different tubes.

A bit stumped for now as there really isn't that much more to test in
the output stage.

Not sure if you guys have Google Groups filtered but that's all I have on my phone.

The output stage is grounded by a 220 ohm wire resistor.
It's open and when I put a resistor in there...the radio now works!

Were it not for the schematic I probably never would have thought to check it.
