Philco 16B restoration
#67

Well, a couple of days ago Dee sent me the shadowgraph back.
Mine even after rewinding had some mechanical trouble, so he gave me one from one of his colleagues, that had a good winding and also some mechanical trouble he could repair.
Today I installed it. It works, though not awfully sensitive and a bit skewed to one side.
It could possibly have weak magnets.
It does react to a very strong station, but not as strongly as the one I have in 18 and 118.
And in the turn-on it does become really narrow. So maybe not the magnets.

I don't know if I want to get inside it: what if the tabs start to break off after being bent before.
Anyways, this was the last thing I had to do before alignment which I am planning to do tomorrow.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
