Philco 660 antenna transformer
#8

Thanks for all the replies,Gary came through with a replacement antenna coil.I can now receive stations
Across all bands and good sensitivity. I touched up the IFs and let it play. I have noticed that there is
a background hum that is noticeable durning a lull in the music or conversations. I am using a 25' wire 
for an antenna and grounding the chassis helps, is this normal? There is only about 3 volts ripple on the
Power supply. I also installed a 1.5 amp slow blow in the line,is that sufficient for power on surge?
Thanks for all the input....Gus
