Hello all.
I have scored a really nice old Philco 1008 Radio. It worked in the antique store but when i brought it home I noticed that the power cord was crumbling. I decided to upgrade it with a new 3 conductor ac power cord, like the ones used for computers.
Here is the shematic:
SCHEMATIC
I just wanted to know if it would be safe to connect the ground (green) wire to the chassis. I know some of these old radios were chassis hot, but I can`t seem to find anything indicating whether or not it is in the schematic. I did notice that a few components seem to be connected to one of the coils in the transformer via ground symbols... I`m not quite sure if i`m right though. Thanks guys!
P.S. the power circuitry is in the lower right hand corner of the schematic.
