Tomorrow it will be windy and cold and begin to rain later in the day. I am planning to spend the time on the Philco chassis cleaning. I can do that inside the house where it is warm and dry. Today was spent on another project of assembling a cabinet. It can continue with clamps in place while glue cures tomorrow.
This Philco is a nice set, not quite as many tubes (8) as the 40-201 (10), but enough where it counts and the number of IF amps is the same in both sets, so overall signal sensitivity is probably close the although the 40-201 does add an RF amp stage where this one is just a mixer/oscillator followed by two IF stages. The 46-1226 does not have push-button tuning but has the record changer that provided an extra option of entertainment for the owner. Even today I sometimes find nothing on the radio worth listening to and bring out my LP albums to listen to.
One thing I need to check tomorrow is the output transformer to see if both halves of the primary are still good.
