[HOTWIRE]

Hi Steve. Typo on my post. The dial number should be 27-5094.

If you can engage the other members to work with you on the rf problem they are top end when it comes to these philcos. I have only done one of em before but I would say this.

I think you really should be fitting Electrolitics where it says Electrolitics and stay with the Cap values as stated on the service sheets. The philco engineers determined these values for a reason. I would also check the routing of the wiring.

It is important to keep the original routing intact. A simple thing like moving a wire away from the chassis can cause problems. Check all the voltages you have on the service sheets and check that 78 RF tube.

I think you should complete the resistor and cap replacement including the mica. I dont buy in to the notion that mica seldom goes gaga. Any radio I have ever fiddled with has had dodgy mica's.

Finally, I have a spare wave trap (again thanks Ron) Maybe I can email it to you or drop it into your local pub.

Kind Regards Steve.

Will.
