Philco 90 Lowboy
#2

I just restored a model 90 cathedral.  After restoring a number of others - 19, 89, 80, 84, 60, - the model 90 was not nearly as bad as I thought.  I have dealt with the open coils, but I did not have an open coil at all with the model 90 I restored.

I think the biggest issue I had was the friction drive on the tuning capacitor.  The little pinch roller wears and tends to slip as you turn the knob.  But there is info on that problem out there and on this site I think.  I fiddled with it and got it to work pretty well, but not perfect.
