53-706 winter project - SteveinAlaska - 11-12-2018
Expecting 4 to 8 inches of snow with 30 mph winds so it looks like winter finally is here
!So I am starting with this little gem for the 1st winter project.
Missing the lamp, the cabinet is a little worse for the wear, but all the rest of electronics are there (chassis & clock).
Found a schematic to work with.
Questions ......... is there a specific style/type lamp assembly that I should use?
Telechron clock.......I see the Philco part# 41-2043, is there a Telechron model number somewhere?
There is a blown resistor (47000) to begin with & someone else has worked on it before. So, I start from square one on this.
I welcome any thoughts, comments & suggestions
Springtime comes about end of April around here.

Good morning Steve. Posting a link to a GE radio that has some good info on the clock, Please do not use WD 40 on the clock use a good light weight oil. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel/697/M0007697.pdf

Not sure which lamp you are referring to? The pilot lamp is going to be a #47 and the 120v lamp I would use something 40w or less incandescent. LED's might generate noise.
RE: 53-706 winter project - SteveinAlaska - 11-14-2018
Sorry 'bout that - it's the 120 volt lamp I was wondering about.
Did Philco make (or use) a particular type or brand of lamp base??
RE: 53-706 winter project - David - 11-14-2018
OK so I am half blind. The only light I see is the number 47 bulb hooked to pins 4 an 6 of the 35W4

This particular model has a dial lamp, a clock, and is a desk lamp/ am radio.
