The PHILCO Phorum

THAT is some nifty troubleshooting, Brenda!

I'm calling this problem fixed. 8 hours and nary a hint of a problem. Tonight, I repaired the LW trimmer mounts and got that all set up, though it didn't take a lot of work, the actual adjustment changed just a very tiny bit. Also replaced the paper caps that were still left in the tone control. I can't believe how nice this radio sounds, given that about 40% of the cone is gone.


Now I'm waiting for a replacement dial disc from RadioDaze and the chassis is finished. Tomorrow, I'll start work on the cabinet. Wish me luck.

Great. Nice to hear it's working.   Now can you do paper mache?

Oh yea and whatever happened with that radio with the dial string issue?

That dial string issue is still an issue, since I honestly have no idea whatsoever how to make it work.

Hey Brenda, what's the trouble with the
vernier drive on that 116?
I may have the info to help you...

The problem is that I simply cannot decipher the silly thing. Needs to be restrung, but I've never seen anything remotely like it, and even with the string diagram on the paperwork, I still can't make sense of it.
