Philco PT-25--BIG MESS - vecher - 02-19-2019

Philco PT-25 Code 122.. Need as much info as I can get.. Especially the layout of the bottom of the radio..

Cannot find the link for Chuck to order schematic and info..  Maybe someone has that info and would share..

Thanks

Ron and Arran, Ok thanks.. I found the link to Chuck But haven't heard back from him yet?

Looks like my PT-25 has been monkey with.. Bottom looks pretty messed up.. Thats why I need to see what the bottom is supposed to look like..

Here is bottom..

Have not been able to get hold of Chuck Yet.. Does anyone know if he is still around??

Still looking for a parts layout of bottom of chassis..

Yes he is still around as far as I know; someone here just recently ordered, and received, a schematic packet from him.

He's retired now and enjoying it, so he may take longer to answer you.

Ron, Ok thanks I will wait until I hear from him..

OK after removing the Electrolytic Replacement Cap I found this....

Looks like the Original cap exploded.. also finding a lot of crumbled wire.. And replacement wire.. See the YEL/Blk wire throughout..
..

This is going to be a real issue..

Ok, Looks like all of the wiring needs to be replaced along with the IF can..

What a PIA..

  Is the IF can actually open circuit or just another victim of crumbling insulation?

RE: Philco PT-25 Code 122 - vecher - 02-27-2019

IF can is OK.. Just replacing wires..

RE: Philco PT-25 Code 122 - vecher - 02-28-2019

Well, Just got a package from Chuck.. Very disappointing 4 sheets that I already have.. NO bottom layout..

Total waste of 7.00 Maybe that's all chuck had.. But Doesn't help me .. Just venting...

I have received packets from Chuck that were excellent..

PS still need a layout of the bottom of this thing...

It's probably all that is available. Don't blame Chuck.

Unfortunately Philco did not provide much in the way of service info for many of the PT series of radios. For some of those, you're lucky if you can get a schematic and maybe a parts list.
