Success!
De-soldered and removed from chassis. Once I had removed it , I found a small dollop of solder at the base of the can which was not allowing the coil form to slide out.
Found and repaired a broken wire to the secondary coil, but also found a 51K resistor across the secondary trimmer which was not on the schematic. Still at 51K, so I left it. Cleaned, reassembled, attached fresh lead wire, and was able to align.
I am wondering if I should make a habit of opening IF transformers if indeed Philco made a habit of putting other components in there?
Yes, I gotta get a camera one of these days. I usually document my work in notebooks, but a visual record would admittedly be better.
Thanks again,
Richard
