Philco 90 questions
#1

I just aquired a model 90 radio that is not complete and has some chassis modifications. I suspect that the radio was at some time redone to use a pm speaker as the field coil was removed and apears that a resistor is in its place. It also is missing one of the two electrolytic cans. None of the block or bakelites have been recapped. Is there some way that this radio would work in this configuation? My experience level is not such that I understand enough to feel confident tackling this project with out some advice. By the way this is the model with a single 47 output. No speaker came with the radio so I could go either way as far as that goes. If any one has a good photo of the underside of this type of chassis it would be helpful to compare. This is a great resourse for people like me that are new to the hobby. The advice I have recieved here allowed me to restore a 38-4 over the winter. Its amazing how good these radios sound when they have been restored. Thanks, Gary
