Ron's Philco 37-640 Restoration
#26

Progress:

Almost finished with the right side. I only need to add one more capacitor and one more resistor here.

Plus, I will also have to attach new wires to the shadowmeter, rebuild the shadowmeter lamp assembly and add new wires to it, and reattach all four inside the right side of this chassis.

Meanwhile, I moved on to the left side:

Almost all of the tubular capacitors and almost all of the resistors have been removed. Only a few more to remove, plus removing and rebuilding the aluminum can electrolytics, then replacing all of the caps and resistors (save for the large two section wirewound resistor), replacing the speaker cable, and replacing the power cord.

Once that is done, I can move on to the most fun part of the project - the RF unit. Icon_thumbdown
