Philco 3650/650 Tuning Mechanism
10-15-2023, 10:52 AM
Hello, I need to dismantle the tuning mechanism in my 3650 (Canadian). I have removed the dial screen but can't figure out how to remove the shadow screen. The picture shows how far I have gone. Also the band selector has a set screw (red circle) that seems to be fused in place. Tried Liquid Wrench having no luck.
Thanks, Dan

Perhaps this will help Dial Drive Rebuilding – Models 116, 640, 643, 645, 650, 651, 655, 660, 665 – Philco Library (philcoradio.com) Some set screws can be tough to remove. A good fitting screwdriver is a must with straight blade not rounded on the corners. You can try holding a hot soldering tip on the offending screw. I'm pretty sure that the part is mostly pot metal so if you want to use a torch be careful not to melt it.
When my pals were reading comic books I was down in the basement in my dad's workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to figure out what all those squiggly meant. Circa 1966 Now I think I've got! Terry

Thanks Terry. The link was just what I needed. I'll give the hot soldering iron a try.
