You've got a few choices. Shorted C 307,C 310, or C 103B. Open R 305 or R 101. Also my have a bad connection along the hv line thru these parts.
Happy hunting.

Hi again, question? Capacitor 310. Has 3 wires coming out of it. 2 wires at one end and 1 wire at the other end. 1 of these wires goes to ground. How are the other 2 wires connected inside the capacitor? What's inside this capacitor?
Is this 2 different capacitors inside?

play things of the past,,, google search
go to his site and you can see his inventory..
you copy and past the line item from "his" inventory" and put that into an email to Gary.
if you dont see your exact IF.... there may be other options of other IF's that will work.

Gary is on vacation till Aug or so...
I'd pull it apart and have a look at it to see if there is any bad connections. Beware that it's a somewhat of a delicate operation and that there is going to be some very fine wire used on the low frequency IF coils. This can be a little finicky to resolder/solder. I'm not quite sure of the construction of this particular transformer but never twist the form that the coils are wound on as it will break the fine wires (sometimes at the winding) and may not be able the resolder.

Hi Terry, We removed the part from the chassis an checked everything about it. The part is bad. For the past 3 days I've called and email so many people for this part or chassis. No one has the part or chassis. I was hoping someone on the philco phorum would have what I need? It looks like spending all this time and money on it is going to go to waste an it will end up in the junk pile. I hope not. Someone please help me.

Do not despair, it is frustrating, sometimes a project goes on the shelf till a part is located or something is figured out a different way. There are all kind of parts out there, maybe take some time to show up.
No junkpiles, have faith in yourself, it will work out.

Kutztown is coming up in a few months (Sept) maybe something could turn up there. Meanwhile put out some feelers there's ARF and several Facebook radio groups. When looking for a certain part do mention the model # from which the part goes to and what it does some folk just put a part# and will get ignored by most. You might have a look at a transformer from a 48-482. Frequencies are the same but done know about the physical layout. Unfortunately many of the early post war FM sets use an odd (non standard) IF frequencies. Philco used 9.1mc later on the everybody (Philco too) was using 10.7mc which was the standard for many yrs.
Patience is a virtue in this instances.
