Model 39-55 Holding Relay Sticking Problem
#1

Hi,

I am new to the Philco Phorum. I've pretty much finished the electrical restoration of my 39-55. It has one problem that I need to conquer before moving on to the cabinet.   The holding relay often does not release after the stepper drive has completed operation. If I touch the actuator with the handle of a screwdriver it releases. I've lubricated under the assembly as best I can without removing the assembly from the chassis. There is an adjustment spring on each coil. the one on the holder relay is underneath the top coil in the picture below.  Has anyone tried tweaking  this adjustment to help the relay release?
