Hi fellas - It's about 1 year since I electronically restored my Philco 90. Although it was working great for the most part, occasionally the channels would disappear for a minute or two only to return shortly afterwards. Since I had to rewind a broken coil originally I wondered if another had a bad connection so I removed the oscillator coil. The inner coil (34Guage) looked immaculate. The outside had some corrosion so I removed and rewound the same direction and number of turns with 34 Gauge. However, the wire looked thicker than gauge. I also found 1 resistor 50% over tolerance so I replaced and rechecked all resistors which weren't originally replaced (only 4). Afterwards, I turned it on expecting to give it a mild adjustment but it has a lot of static and the channels come and go. I'm assuming it's not oscillating. Any advice on the gauge and proper tuning would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-
Mark
