Next case - Odd Philco 42-720 Tropic
#7

Yes, I recall reading about that.

Today's progress:

I had mentioned previously that I removed all of the paper and electrolytic caps yesterday. This made it easier to replace the rotten rubber-covered wires, and I have the vast majority of those replaced now.

As you can see in the photo above, I had to remove two of the coils from where they were mounted just to get to the wires and components soldered to the various pins of the 7J7E tube socket.

All but two of the resistors have been replaced. Both IF transformers have been removed so that they, too, may be rewired.
