Philco 16B restoration
#50

Well, this was fast. The 10K wirewound trimpot came from China.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/172350624604?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT


$1.33. Free shipping. How do they do that.....

It's a bit larger than the original but did fit fine.

I also have rebuilt the electrolytics and tonight installed them and the trimpot.
In short, I am done with recap/recarb.

Need to install the tuning cap back.

Then

1. Send the speaker for the recone.
2. Send the shadowmeter for rewind.
3. Check the power xfmr integrity.
4. Check RF coils.

It does not move superfast but then I am a bit busier with my schedule, having return (together with my son) to brazilian jiu jitsu training, plus taking him for guitar lessons, so less time to be in the basement.

Anyways. That's where I am right now.

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.
