Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#29

The next job was to disassemble each IF transformer, replace the wires, polish the cans, and reassemble.

Here is the 3rd IF transformer:

All of the wires were replaced with new wires. The same procedure was performed on all three IF cans.

I now have a 1st IF transformer which is very similar to the original. It is a three-section IF which was pulled from a 38-1 console. (Thanks, Sam! Icon_thumbup )

My goal for this evening was to get all three rebuilt and bolted back onto the chassis. And I accomplished that goal.

No, they aren't wired in yet, but I will do that tomorrow.

Here's how they look above the chassis:

I think we're nearing the home stretch on this one.
