Hi all,
on vacation in Montreal, a friend of mine showed me a Philco Model 38-7 console radio from the 30ies. Mechanically very sound, all original, complete, couldn't resist offering him to look after the electronics.
Now I have the chassis and the loudspeaker. I have some tools at hand (scope, multimeter, soldering iron), but no components and no variac /isolation transformer, making repair a bit tricky. Can anybody help me about what caps and resistors typcially always fail in these units? So I can do some focused shopping...
If some good soul would welcome me in his workshop in Montreal that would be great, too :-)
I'm a german electronics engineer and like to repair old stuff, TVs, Radios, measuring equipment, audio stuff... here is the most recent: https://groups.io/g/TekScopes/message/209892
cheers
