Sailing along, down to the final stages, after re-capping I set out to align the set. Have a B&K SigGen, Frequency Counter, O'scope and VTVM.
New guy here, and new proud member of the Philco family. Father in Law gave me this for christmas. he restored the outside, I'm responsible for the inside! lol. Look forward to the knowledge here for help with that. Picking it up at the house later in the week. Not sure of the exact model and such, or what needs doing, but I'm excited, because its beautiful. So what are your techniques for successfully cleaning grill cloth that is in good shape, but may need a little cleaning? Not noticing the sticky about this, my wife painstakingly created the station tabs, after many trial and errors on the exact fit. The rounded corners are necessary, BTW. Mine just had the corners nipped off by me, rather than rounded. They appear to be held in by a subtle ridges in each opening; so the length of each tab is critical. Too long and the tension leaves them too pushed-out. Too short and they are just sitting there, unsupported. It's another labor of love . DENNIS
Ok you have seen this thread but looking for the value of the three caps on a late model 112 (47 output tubes). The three I'm looking for are the ones used in the tone control switch. Appreciate some help here. Not labeled on the schematic. Thanks for any help.
When I finally got around to building my first one. With a little help from Xray, she really works well. I'm really impressed with it's performance. I have to say it rivals my 160' long-wire on the BCB depending. Plus it really cuts the neighbor induced noise, which is an issue around me
Picked up this Philco 42-1008 for 15.00 it doesnt have the beam of light turntable but the guy was nice enough to throw in a nice old webcor turntable I should be able to use.He also sold me a varitain model v-1 for 5.00 just needs a new power cord There are some real nice folks out there still! Here's some pics
G'day all from Downunder.. Thought I'd jump on & introduce myself after exchanging a few emails with Ron & also to say thank you as he put me on the right path in finding the model & date built of my Philco Radio.
