I just started restoration of a 41-221. I need to know how to remove the clips holding the tenite bezel on the cabinet. I didn't want to get too rough for fear of damaging the bezel.

I have agreed to restore a Philco 37-650 console for an acquaintance and the first thing I checked was the speaker. Of course the output transformer is open. This is an 8 tube chassis with 6f6 push/pull configuration. I told him I'm pretty sure Hammond will have what he needs but what exactly DOES he need? Anybody know the specs of this particular transformer? Thanks folks.

Hello all.

When I bought my 37-690 years ago I ended up buying, from the same person the extra complete insides for a 37-690 including all speakers, clarifier's,etc... 

I kept these as I thought I'd possibly need them for my 37-690 but it was restored last year and needed nothing.

My question is does the two chassis and speakers fit into a 38-690 as well?

Hello all,
I've been restoring a beautiful Philco 48-1276.  Unfortunately the tuner was completely locked up. After much cleaning and lubricating, i was able to get the tuner to move. I can get the tuner to move all the way to the right but only 1/2 way to the left. This radio has a very complicated gearing setup that allows you to auto-tune the radio.  Has anyone had experience with this tuner and can let me know why I can only get it to move 1/2 of the way?

Thanks!

Hello all. I'm selling my 28c and have always wondered what the difference is between models 45c and 28c. I can find many 45's posted on line, but very few 28's. Is that a good thing or bad thing. Thanks Steve

Hi all,
About a week ago I got a Philco 42-355 radio and I'm looking for a schematic for it. I seem to remember that there was someone related to this website who provided excellent schematic copies that came from the original Philco service notes. Does anyone know if this service still available? 

Thanks in advance, Thomas Hamilton

Hello,
I am repairing a Philco 60B and I have doubts about the block condensers

In the schematic, number 8 has a single 0.180uF capacitor. To which terminals should this capacitor be connected?

Thank you, Greetings from Spain.

Good day fellow members. I have the opportunity to purchase this unusual Console. The owner says it is a model 116E. However I cannot find the identical radio on the philcoradio website or on the internet, to date it or get any other info. It has a record player in the top.

Possibly one of you fine people will recognise this model and can enlighten me?

Hi, All:
Hoping to find someone who is experienced with this miserable Philco M-24 record changer.  After dismantling it to get rid of the grease-turned-adhesive lubricants, I have it assembled, lubricated, and am going through adjustments.  I think I'm pretty good except for one thing, the trip adjustment.  Sorry, this might get a little long:

So the adjustment procedure says to bend the "ear of the trip plate assy" to set the trip point.  The best I can tell, my problem is related to the tone arm height adjustment.  If I adjust the tonearm height as instructed, with the stylus 1/8" above the baseplate, the changer will not raise the tonearm up high enough to get over the post on the tonearm cradle, so will not play records with the tonearm in the cradle.  Under these conditions, if I lift the tonearm out of the cradle, cycle a record, the tonearm swings out against the outside of the post on the cradle before moving to set down.  This is what determines the starting position of the Trip Arm.  Under these conditions, the trip point is within a range that I can adjust by bending the "ear" on the "trip plate assembly".  

If I set the tone arm height such that it is able to raise the tone arm high enough so the changer can lift it over the post on the cradle to start a record, then when I cycle a record, the tonearm swings roughly 1/2" farther out, against the rubber stop on the back of the tonearm cradle, like I think it should.  This, however, sets the starting point of the "trip arm" roughly 1/2" farther cw.  Now it trips with about 1/2" to go on the record, and there is not enough range bending that "ear" to adjust it.

I feel certain the tonearm is intended to swing all the way out, over the post on the cradle, against the rubber stop on the outside of the cradle, but there is absolutely  no way to get it to finish a record under this condition.

Can anyone help?  I'm guessing no sensible person has ever done one of these little gems.

Best

Mike

I may buy this radio but I’m unable to find a schematic for it. I checked the usual sites but that Model number on the chassis didn’t show up. Any assistance would be appreciated.
