Thought I was done, but NOOOOOOOoooo! I THOUGHT I still had Oscillator problems, so I shortened or replaced grid wires, checked all the old solder joints, and shielded everything as best I could. But she still seemed to have low volume. I just traced that problem back to the bandswitch, and I bet there aren't very many of those around!
So I'm embarking on another bench journey, this time to see if I can somehow burnish/tighten the bandswitch contacts. I can bypass the *%*^^#&^ thing and bring the volume WAY up. AH-HA!! I'll remove the offending component to see if I can successfully operate!
Perseverance is the key to these things. After all, if I found a 1933 Oldsmbile or the like that had been sitting un-used for decades, I would have to do the same to it to get it running right, too! Probably, I would get to meet every nut and bolt personally, and hold court with it and its constituents. Same with yon Philco. It's FUN!! Icon_wink
I need you to hold my hand again, Exray! Icon_lol Icon_razz
