Good morning,
I have a Philco 40-135 http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...013328.pdf
That I have recapped, replaced the output transformer replaced the deteriorated wiring checked and replaced out of spec resistors , tubes check good and have even replaced them one a a time to no improvement, looked for bad solder joints and things touching that shouldn't and cleaned and lubed the switch.
I get a lot of static between the stronger stations, they come in great but the more distant ones have some static. It doesn't seem to matter how long I leave it on I also have a 40-140 that plays great. Should I start looking at the Mica Caps? Not sure where to go at this point. Thanks
Eric
