Kirk's Philco 40-145
#1

Today thought after almost having finished the RCA I would rest, plus I am out of solder Icon_sad
But I looked in the box, sa Philco 56, some other monster with a speaker that weighs like my dumbells and 40-145.

I decided to stay on the latter.

Has been recapped, so I looked at the voltages and they were OK.
No sound though.

So after short investigation about 5 minutes, I found the speaker misses one of the wires between the VC and a lug. Had a bad speaker that was a cone paper donor, used its wire.
The sound appeared, no reception though.

Then after pressing a preset button I briefly had a reception but it went away.

Well, there is still much to do.
I will leave string routing to Kirk.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
