I'm restoring a 57 Studebaker Hawk and have the radio out and on my bench.
I replaced the electrolytics and the vibrator buffer cap. Got a clean +250 volts
out of the power supply-oh Joy! But--- when I wired into the tuner, the voltage dropped
way down. Removed all the tubes and still too much load. A previous repair guy had
put a red X on one of the 455 Khz IF cans and I suspect a short. I don't have schematic since
no ID on the chassis but looks like other 50's Philco's I have repaired. Question is
"Where can I buy a replacement IF can" I don't have any parts radios to scavenge.
Thanks,
