Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#33

For what it's worth...

If you look at the partial schematic and compare it to the photos above, you may notice an extra mica capacitor and resistor. This was a production change:

This 42-788 has the changes. The 100 pF cap is new.

Of course, that won't fix an open winding on a coil. Icon_sad

And Sam, if you see this...your 38-1XX 1st IF works well in this 42-788. Icon_thumbup Even though the 38-1 has a 470 kc IF, the transformer tunes up fine at 455 kc.
