This is my first post, although I have been using the Philco Phorum as an information source to assist in radio restorations for some time. Thanks to all contributors.

I restored a Philco Model 48-482 about a year ago and it has been playing very well until recently when reception problems began on the FM band. At first it an intermittant problem and eventually became no reception at all.

By following the Riders trouble shooting instructions I have found that the L300 rf osc choke (part #32-3352) associated with the FM1000 tube is open. When I bridge the choke with a piece of wire the FM band functions but the fidelity is not good. Is it possible to repair this part? If not what can I use as a replacement. Thanks for your help.
